Default And Another

Seems that red was a favourite civil use colour for the HUP...

Scroll to the bottom of the page until you see a T-34 parked next to a HUP

Default Interesting Website

This site is full of antique mil and civ vehicles. There are a few pics of HUPs throughout, but also many other CMPs. Prepare to spend some quality time here...

Default Location Unknown, But "Strange" Circumstances

The following URL leads to the CBC archives and a photo of Matthew Halton speaking into a microphone beside a HUP - click on clip number 7. The archives are very interesting and other photos of HUPs can be found there:

Hi Rob

The CBC Archives is one of those sites that you have to visit every now and then as they seem to add stuff over time. I've been looking at the CBC Archives for information on WWII, in particular Matthew Halton and the other reporters for a number of years. Some stuff seems to appear for awhile then disappear only to return later. There should be a lot more sound recordings than are currently listed hopefully over time more of the broadcast recordings will turn up and be made available on line.

I keep hoping to find a photo of the inside of one of the recording HUPs.

Cheers Phil

Default Another Interesting HUP Related Story

From Dad's War: http://www.dadswar.com/9.html Town of Zwischenahn near the city of Oldenburg, Germany.

An interesting read. For the HUP reference, scroll down to the pictures of the ships and read on.

Apparently HUPs were good for morale in post war occupied Germany.

Default Strange Online HUP Reference

http://www.btinternet.com/~roger.beckwith/bh/links.htm is a webpage dedicated to old BBC Radio Broadcasting Equipment and Memories.

Not surprisingly, Phil Waterman is mentioned.
