Hi Ewen,
It's been several months and not having much interest aside from curiosity, I didn't take specific note of the location. However some map recce suggests you should look in the vicinity of 41 St E at Ontario Ave. The lot was fenced, contained other vehicles and I distinctly remember seeing a fair number of UK phone booths.
Happy hunting!
Jason

Super Dave,

Namao had an M43 just like the one in your pic. It was very well kept and stayed in service until 81 - ish. A member of 745 Comm Sqn purchased it when it went surplus.

But on the other hand two finds; an airforce M43 from an early tree line radar station and an M152 from Comox were painted blue.

Cheers
JD
M152

Thanks Jason. Next time I go to Saskatoon I'll take a look. Ewen

All the equipment used on the runways in Canada seemed to be painted yellow for visibility reasons. My Cletrac M2 was yellow with BCATP markings.

This web page http://bathead.com/wc51blue.html lists a number of "MV's in Yellow (officially & otherwise)".

It includes M37's and other trucks, some of which were in US Navy use (which surpised me as I thought these were either OD or gray).

Speaking of which, here's an M37 in Navy livery. Doesn't it look very smart?!?

Last week I was in Saskatoon and could not find the truck. There was however a Kijiji ad for a Yellow M37 in Saskatoon for $3,900.00. It must have sold as before I could link the ad here it was removed. I did however get some photos from the ad prior to it being removed and here they are.
