CFR plate 08888

[Frank v R]

Hi Guys , Eric Booth swears he took a photo of this plate somewhere here in the forum, does anyone know who has it and where in the forum he may have found it, hope someone can help,

I drove an M38A1 with that CFR when it was held by B Coy the Lorne Scots PD&H in Brampton, Ontario. Would have been 1983 or so. Nickname in the Regt was "crazy eights".

I believe .... a fellow in Kemptville has the plate, or at least one of the many replacement plates. He hasn't shown it to me, only smiles and winks about it.

the reason I'm looking is due to fact the jeep is sitting behind my shop and I would like to see the two together again , it isn't very often that something like this can happen,

...and so did I!

I swear that this vehicle had a GPMG pedestal mount fitted. This was confirmed by someone you may know...Brad Bean.

Trouble is, Frank can't find any evidence of a pedestal having been fitted.

Perhaps re-tubbed?

"Interesting... One Meeelion dollars! LOL
First, I'd have to see if I still have it... haven't seen that stuff since I moved 3 years ago.
Cheers"

The mystery continues.

Jim, was there another jeep in the compound with a pedestal, c.1976?
