Hi Robert
I spotted quite a few CMP's around your district . I was shown the Batlow fire brigade truck, a nice F60L , in good running order in the fire station, this was back in 1981. A half turn of the crank handle and it fired up... The old codger at Laurel Hill had a variety of CMP's , many of them cab 12's in various states of completeness. His name was Woods or similar. Back in 1976, his yard had derelict CMP's in abundance. Just after the war he was selling Blitzs and other ex-army vehicles to the locals .. He was rather moody though, and probably bordering on being senile. On one occassion he threw me out , I still don't know why.He had a big nasty German sheperd dog that made entering the place , somewhat nerve racking. He told me there were two Guy Ant quads in the district at one time . I took a few pics of his yard .. I will find the negatives one day ! It was an old run down Shell garage. Mike

Last one I have
This is another Batlow blitz, a F60L Modified original tray with spare tyre carrier mounted on top of tray and wheel arches flatened for carting apple bins. It is sheded but hasn't been started for seven or eight years. It is for sale he has $4000 wrien in chalk on the door.
Thats it until I find some more. I hope the Forestry has their restored fire truck out at apple blossem so I can snap it.

Sorry to butt in, but this seems a good a place as any to post pics of discoveries.
Turned up this crook old Ford. The most interesting thing of note is the pair of 25pdr wheels with 1939 dated tyres, and the moss-covered aircraft tyre fitted to the back with a small tree growing up through the chassis!
