See Dutch CMPs for a selection of CMPs preserved in the Netherlands.

Hendrik is compiling a list of owners, in an effort to bring them together to beat the Corowa record . . . .

Enjoy!

THAT sounds like a challenge!

Good for you, Hendrik. Mind you, we have another Year of the Blitz coming up... and we'll make the 34 in 2002 record look like baby steps...

If we really tried we could get around 10 gun tractors alone... in fact we could do the 30+ just in 15Cwts.

This sort of healthy competition can only be good for the hobby!

Seriously though, if you all worked hard, how many could you get together? How about in the U.K.? Or (dare I mention it) Canada?

Hello Keith,

How many? the number of 30 15 CWT's are there, but the Gun tractors will be difficult, but I think that will be compensated by at least 4 C15TA's and 1 or 2 Otters.

We found after a short brainstorming about 100 CMP's in Holland, so there must be more.

green Greetings Hendrik

And all of these are spread over a mere 41.526,00 sq km, yes, that's only 16,033.2782 sq mi. So we can leave home to break the record after breakfast and be back home for lunch!

Hello,I know this Chevrolet,

It is a very nice and original vehicle, in the late 40's rebuild as a firefighter, as there was no money all rifle clips etc. were used as clips to mount the firefighting equipment, one window is Ford marked , the roofhatch is in working order and it is well preserved.

Nice C8A Heavy Utility, although I have no idea what exactly it is doing in WW2 liberation tour. Although it might be better placed than the Hotchkiss Jeeps disguised as 82nd AB Jeeps. . . .

Found a couple of new pictures of Dutch CMPs on the internet.

First one is a F15A CZ4284566:

Second one is C8A CZ4228903:

More can be found in my G503 album See Dutch CMPs.

Enjoy!

Hanno Spoelstra · #14 19-02-08, 17:09

Update:
- broken links fixed (Dirk, can you fix your own of the nice girl in front of you on the Lynx?);
- some related threads merged in an effort to keep track of where Dutch CMPs are going.

See Dutch CMPs for an update, including a number of CMPs under restoration: Cab 11 FAT, C60S Wrecker:

F15A Cab 11 CMD 4119, originally restored in the UK, ex-De Vrij, has found a new home in Belgium:

Good news is a recently restored Carrier:

And of course we should mention forum member Alex's Chev C8 cab 11!

Enjoy!

Regards Niels

Hi Niels,

The CMPs currently in Holland come from a lot of places: Holland, Belgium, England (my F15A), Canada, Denmark, Norway (my 20-cwt trailer), France, and most likely some more places.

I understand this CMP came from Denmark:

Regards,
Hanno

Dirk, "fox" is bargoens voor aantrekkelijk meisje. That´s why I said "Which nice girl? I was watching the Lynx, not the Fox! "

And thanks for the picture of the Fox also!

M.vr.groet,
Hanno

Good news, Dirk!
Did you point out MLU to him?

P.S.: Fact sheet from Gregg

P.S.2: Another C15 (albeit a Cab 12) with the same body

Hanno Spoelstra · #23 26-12-07, 16:07

Dirk,

What is the story behind this truck? Didn't it come from France?

I know the body came from the UK.

Thanks,
Hanno

Except for that rear body on the Cab 12 Chev. . .

Thanks Dirk, just trying to keep record on surviving CMPs in Holland.

Our C60X is sold to a guy from the South of the Netherlands.
I forgot to give him a MLU sticker but maybe later including the official invouce envelope.

Dirk

Alex van de Wetering · #29 08-02-08, 15:22

Dirk,

Did the new owner also take that Composite box?

Alex

Dirk Leegwater (RIP) · #30 23-04-08, 21:12

The C60L is gone to Mr. H. Ates, director of museum: Canadian, Allied Forces 1940-1945 in Groningen.
