Unusual CMP Ambulance

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

There is another suggestion that the Tipper above that looks like a C30 is in fact a converted CGT! The body was evidently produced from parts of other CMPs. The one big problem with the former is that the chassis is..ahem! 134"!!! However we know that CMPs rebuilt by GM Limited, Southampton had their fuel tanks opened out and refurbished before being refitted to refurb'd chassis. That is how the Fuel Tank guy came to have a huge collection of petrol lighters! Yes, squaddies dipping their lighters into the tanks on string/rope/shoelaces dropped them in and Mr FT retrieved them when he split open the tanks and then soldered them up afterwards. His collection was kept on his mantlepiece!
