The Dumbo Drop CMP was discussed on the old MLU forum many years ago, I think we came to the conclusion it is a true bitsa of which many can be found in e.g. Burma, where I believe this movie was shot.

Just watched this movie recently and was surprised to see a CMP in it. The LHD had me confused too and so I searched MLU thinking it may have been discussed in the past. According to wikipedia the movie was filmed in Thailand.

9th Div Cab 12 in Caunter scheme from the Czech movie Tobruk. Quite a long scene featuring the vehicle including from inside the cab with some nice gear whine.

Hi Tony
Has that Tobruk movie been released? And if so in what countries and under what title? Those are great screen shots. I notice that the truck in the top shot doesn't seem to have the expanded metal grill and in the last shot it does. Also the Ford in the last shot seems to have the expanded metal Chevy style instead of Ford crossed wire style, looking at period pictures it looks like these got swapped around or removed completely. Cheers Phil

Hi Phil,
It's a 2008 Czech movie and was released in the US in 2009. I saw it on TV here but it's available on DVD/Bluray from the UK: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tobruk-DV...item460e9730f8 I had another look at this 4 minute scene and I believe the grille is present throughout but the lighting angle in certain parts makes it look missing. As you say it's the expanded metal type, I've never understood why these appeared so commonly on Fords....? TONY7549.jpg

In 1984 a movie was made mostly at Singleton army camp in Hunter Valley it was called The Cowra Breakout, there were two CMPs 13 cabs used in the movie among other vehicles. One of them was constantly used with the main actors,the other one wasn't as much,it was owned by my father which he also drove in the movie.
