Possibly in the military of WWII, the CMP dimensions 'selected' its driver, whereas now we want it the other way around. With height, comes limitations. RAAF wouldn't have me as pilot. Too tall for what I wanted to fly, yet cessna 152 fits well! My Father drove both cab 12s & 13s, and he was over 6' tall. At that time he had the physique of a greyhound, so sheer bulk wasn't problem either. Thats all that good army living for ya.
I remember hearing Dad say several times, there were no fat guys in the army. Guess he really meant the lower ranks, hey. Thomas Blamey, are you hearing this....down there?
