Inglis 20mm Cannon

[David Dunlop]

Clive: Thanks for that tip. I will see what the local branch can come up with.

Neil: Yes, that is the beast. That CMP was a trials vehicle used by Inglis while they worked out the details for the quad mount body. The article I read was about the armoured 6x6 the Canadians developed during the war, based on the Ford CMP 6x4 (with the trailing axle replaced with an active unit). Three versions were planned: 17-pdr gun tractor, APC and Quad 20mm Antiaircraft. A number of these vehicles went to England for evaluation during the war, and somehow, one Quad mount vehicle (minus the mount) turned up for disposal in Holland after the war.

Checked with the local library branch and they could not trace a copy so I went to the Service Pub site to order one. That 20mm intrigues me far too much not to learn more about it.

Best regards,

David
