parts location in the UK for a CGT

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

1. Note that the F8A is never mentioned...if any manual existed, and I assume that it did, was it the rarest CMP manual of all apart from the C8AX perhaps and the FC602S/L?

2. Note the CGT book states that a portee body could be fitted to the CGT chassis although there were just the S/M 2028 2-pounder Portees with # 42 Cab. Interesting that the option was still open to use the chassis again for the say 6-pounder, although they were of course C60L chassis in the event.

3. When was the first usage of the term 'CANADIAN MILITARY PATTERN'? Note the Fall 1942 date, so it must be earlier than that. 'SPECIAL PATTERN VEHICLES' was used for some time from say April 1940 as well as 'DND-PATTERN'.

4. When do the manuals change the 'C/F30S' designation to 'C/F30'? I conject late 1940, for 1941 Model year.
