Hi all:

This thread is getting pretty large, so this may have been posted earlier, but.........

A CMP in Norway in the background. I believe it was used by the SAS or some such infiltration organization sometime in the war. There was no useful caption on the photo.

One more from Norway.
Seems they kept CMP's in service for quite a long time.

Flicking through a recent facebook page on memories of Wellington and this Little Ford F15 popped up
Not in the background but close enough

Default Background?

Looks suspiciously like foreground in one of the shots, but a nice find. Love the branding on the bumper.

Default Love the V8 symbol.

Great photo's AJ,

Love the livery all over the truck. Not to mention the dealership, brings joy to the heart of a Ford lover.

Would love to know it that truck still exists. (I've no doubt you've been down that route).

Would've been a beauty to keep as it presents in these photos and have it at this years Corowa.

She is a little beauty
Love the "Whitewall " Chevrons

Havent seen a F15 around the area for as long as I can remember.
I am guessing photos were taken at least 15-20 years before my birthdate
