I thought I'd seen that one on Hwy 36 heading South of St Paul, AB. Unfortunately that was over a year ago and I only seen it once. Does that make sense?

I have no idea where it was in your fair Province but it was listed on Kijiji around that time.

I was hoping that someone on the forum might have bought it or know where it might be. The vehicle has certain features that interest me if they are preserved.

I deeply suspect that this may have been ne of the trucks loaned to the Brits at BATUS and as such holds an interest in acquiring.

The paint scheme and call sign on the door to my untrained eye looks non Canadian.

Can anyone comment?

The vehicle is ex-BATUS which alone would make it unique.

Than you Ed Storey for confirming my suspicions.

I wonder where it went to?

Ed, Im curious... Other than what appears to be a British style paint job, what information do you have to confirm this was a BATUS vehicle?
