CMPs from all over postwar

[Bill Murray]

Just for grins, here two photos I picked off a Spanish site while doing research for another type of Forum.

Well, massive rain storms here tonight so no Christmas shopping.

These photos do nothing sitting in my documents files so might as well put them up here.

Bill

[Robert Bergeron]

Great pictures, thanks.

Bill, I am interested in the HUP photo in particular, do you have any background info about this photo? Thanks.

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Great to see you and these pictures on here, Bill!

I have re-named your thread as "CMPs in Spain Post WWII" did not cover the subject anymore. Also, I have cross-posted a few to Dutch CMPs.

[Bill Murray]

Thanks very much Hanno!!

Sorry I have been absent a while, age and it's complications have taken up a lot of time the last 2 years but seems to be getting better. As well, had a major computer muck up about 18 months ago and am still trying to sort out document and photo files. Getting there, but it is slow.

I do have rather a batch of non-CMP ex WWII stuff, lots of it still Canadian, I could put up in another thread if it is of interest.

RHClarke: Sadly, I do not have the original source marked but I will try to find it for you and if so I will post it here.

Now I have to read the attachment instructions again so I can post full size photos

Gday Bill,

The photo's are terrific...thanks for taking the time to post them up.

The history of the Blitz in all its forms is a fascinating one and their military history is only part of the story...

Their civilian roles never cease to amaze me and your contribution here is invaluable and throughly interesting.

If youve got more to share, please do...

Hi Bill,
The photo of the truck and uniformed females has got to be in Malaya (sic)
judging by the buildings.
I have post war photos of trucks in Singapore and Ghost Trucks in Malaysia,
better find them...
Wayne.

Thanks for the kind words, gents.

I guess I will have to continue with thumbnails for the moment.

Here, a batch from Argentina, a couple with interesting body rebuilds

Thanks for the kind comments, my friends.

Here, a few more.
Bill

[Bill Murray]

And some more............

[Bill Murray]

Carrying on here.

Please note that in the main, I am not posting restored or to be restored or junk yard vehicles in this thread. There are thousands of such photos to be found on the net and it would really take up too much room to post them here.

I am concentrating on vehicles that in the main were taken onto civvie street and used for many years after the war. As well, some odds and sods that are just interesting even if they don't fit my main concentration.

So here goes again.

Bill

[Bill Murray]

And more. Note I may double post a photo now and again and I will try to clean that up.

Bill

[Bill Murray]

More.

Bill

[Bill Murray]

A few more.
