Derk, Not all - just a HUP. In any case, we would give fair notice of any upcoming raids - mostly so we could meet, sit down and chat about "rules of engagement" over a few beer.

I figure that you Manitoba CMPers have had 12 plus years to save a particular HUP, so maybe it is time for a new approach. My spy (a resident -not named Mark) will be checking out the HUP this summer...so you still have some time.

Ultimately, it is about saving the truck, so no matter who gets it, we all win in the end.

RHClarke,
Agreed,The HUP should go to a good home where it will see a proper restoration.It is not a fact of nobody wanting to buy it and restore it here,there are many of us that want the truck,it is the fact that the farmer never wanted to sell the truck to anyone.I wish you luck and if you are in Manitoba,definitely would want to meet up and share some CMP stories over a few beverages!Til then,
Cheers,Derk.

Hey Derk.

Apparently RHClarke is unfamiliar with the Prairie command by laws regarding such incursions from non-residents into Prairie command territories. The territory includes a territorial shelf into the unwanted (by Ontario) Northern Ontario, and also includes Manitoba, all of Saskatchewan and any vehicles currently unclaimed in Alberta. For purposes of the Prairie Command mapping division, the Northern Ontario claim extends from the Manitoba border to the Western edge of the Ontario town of Marathon, Ontario.

While incursions by non-residents into this territory are possible, they must first apply to the Prairie Command "non-resident cultural theft" committee for thorough study and prior approval (which is rarely to never granted) before even viewing photographs of any military pattern vehicle located within our claimed territories.

If the truck that Mr. Clarke has his desires on is the truck that we think he is talking about, that truck is specifically listed in the "not for export" list. Collaborator Mark will have to be dealt harshly with at the local level for passing on MD10 cultural secrets.

Had I known...Oh, well it looks like I stepped into it big time. I searched the internet for the application form, but found nothing resembling the aforementioned procedure. I think they are trying to make this a difficult evolution, but having worked in Quebec as an Ontario resident, it shouldn't be too hard for me to meet any challenges posed by the Prairedog Commandos...

Just for the record, my spy and collaborator is my lil bro who lives in the Republic of Manitobah...I hope Mark escaped the tar and feathers...

Tar and feather him anyways - it will make up for the times he got away with things that we still don't know about.

Consider it done.

The application for such a vandalism on Prairie Command potential assets is actually well outlined in the double secret sub-constitution.

The applications for "non-resident cultural theft" are only handed out at the scheduled meetings of that particular committee. Meetings take place on every 29th day of Feb at the end of each applicable millenium. The applicant's request is made, and the decision is rendered at the next scheduled meeting of aforementioned committee. The applicant must be present at both meetings.

While your "brother", if he does in fact exist, and is a natural born resident of Manitoba, would have a valid claim on such a truck, he still cannot export it without the approval of the prairie command.

Prairie command is incorporated in Manitoba as a non-profit group, and as such, our bylaws are accepted by the Manitoba government and would have to be duly enforced.

Holy crap! And I thought bureaucracy in la belle province was tough. I just checked my daytimer and it looks like I will be very busy next February 29th stoking the flames of hell, or if I repent at the last moment, putting up with my ex wife and ex girlfriends in purgatory...which seems an easier go than meeting all of the PC guidelines.

OK, you westerners are off the hook - for now. But beware, I have been studying the habits of the rare Ontario "McQuinty" and have been emboldened by its cunning...

As for my little brother, he is real, but alas, he too is of Maritime stock, a real herring choker. So it looks like we ran out of options...perhaps...(even though I dislike them, I added one for emphasis)

I will miss Mark,he was a nice guy.I hope he forgives me for opening pandoras box on him!
Sincerely,Derk
