Now This IS Strange!
The article refers to Art Holmes and his HUP - again called Big Betsy. The Canadian Broadcast Museum Foundation wanted to set up a display at the Canada Museum of Science of Technology to show the public the works of our war correspondents and others. The article mentions that a HUP was to be loaned to the exhibit.
What makes this strange is the mention of Rene Levesque who, before he became The Separtist, was a Canadian war correspondent. http://www.cbmf-fmcr.ca/Newsletter/j...nsonspeech.php

More Finds
Hi Rob
More good finds, now I'm working on capturing the photos and video, wish they were little larger in size. Though some of the still photos I have tracked back to bigger images. Interesting about the vehicle name Betsy, I'll have to dig back through the books and see if there is any mention of Big Betsy as being the HUP Betsy as being the original 3 ton. Cheers Phil

HUP Strangeness
We have seen many HUPs in strange places and circumstances. While we have a break in the never ending HUP internet search, here is some "strange" HUP stuff to ponder.
When you look at the rear end of the HUP (C8A) frame you will see that the last crossmember has quite an assortment of holes punched into it (see pic below from Phil Waterman's website http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.c...20Page%202.htm ). What were these holes for? So far, all I have is a theory. What's your take?

Hitched HUP
Assen NL - Strange to see a HUP with a trailer hitch...good shots of the HUP start at 1:35 mark of the video.

Hitch Holes
Quote:
Looks like the mystery of the holes has potentially been solved. My theory: All C8A frames had the last crossmember fitted for but not with a hitch. The C8AX hitch set up as seen in the photo at the bottom of page one leads me to that conclusion.
