Default Bovington pre-war albums

David Fletcher has sent me some thumbnails of pre-war album photos and there are some real gems in there! There are several MCC trucks and lorries including C.S.8T G/S, and C.S.8T Cavalry Portee body and what appears to be a CDF 3-way Tipping lorry! There are also one or two more unidentifiable MCCs but two photos are captioned: 'MORRIS LORRY C.S.11/40 TIPPING' with soft cab...never heard of a C.S.11/40! and a 'MORRIS LORRY C.S. 11/30', which is the one I was after. There is also a four-canvased door MCC with very high nose, looking like a 6-cylinder engine, 4-wheeler with a 'bussle' at the back...no idea what that is.

I forgot to add that there is a shot of a MCC C.S.8T I think, with a Personnel body with canvas top very similar to that of the early CMP Personnel Carriers!
