Would be most interested in seeing your "trucks in Kamloops" photo. But have to say that Kamloops has changed almost beyond recognition.

re. Communication Vans. Yes, the Sig's guy's were/are taught to be very secretive about all that fancy gear they get to play with.

Hacking into wireless communications is not a new phenomenon.
General Rommel used it to great effect in North Africa..

Everybody should do themselves a favour and back-up your pictures to a portable hard-drive. We had a lightning strike take out a primary power line last year and it fried my computer. I didn't have everything backed up but did save a lot so get your photos and important info into back-up files...not plugged into a wall.

Finally found my Kamloops picture. It's either the M220 or M207 shopvan, an M37, what is likely an M216....unless this photo actually comes from south of the border as all the stars would indicate. Did the U.S. share Kamloops with our forces?

This is a barn find. It's name is Piglet, the modified M135 Pig farm manure transfer unit.... PFMTU ....This one has a rear view mirror and a convoy light.

After service life had to be hard on the deuces and this is an example of one that literally sucked.
