David Hayward how is your memory

CT, it does seem that very few relativeloy CMPs were retained by the Ministry of Supply for the post-war British forces but there is ample photographic evidence that demobbed CMPs were widely used into the 1960s by all manner of users. But so many it seems had been reconfigured by the post-war rebuilders.

As an off[-topic subject, an English guy who did some work for us on our house around 1987 swore that he served in Vietnam, It seems that he and his mate were in the nUS and as a result of a bet he volunteered for the US Army, ending up as a helicopter pilot. I gather that there were very few British-born servicemen that served but that included men who had emigrated to Australia.

When we picked the C30 up it was fitted with front axle from another two wheel drive truck which was done at times to save fuel by reducing the weight of the vehicle. We have fitted a front diff from another chev, but I doubt if we will ever find a cab 11 diff.

Col we should buy Dave one of those Aussie survival packs for his long journey to Yass to eat the sponge cakes. Mind you fresh sponge cakes don't last long with me around here, so he'd have to be quick.
