Default Peter Ford

For those newer members who perhaps don't know, Peter Ford was an absolute legend of the CMP world. Sadly I didn't get the opportunity to meet him, but did correspond with him from time to time.

Peter was one of the original people interested in, and passionate about Canada's wartime contribution in terms of military vehicles.

I'm sure there are some Canadian members who can fill in more details.

Default Photos From CMP 84

Hi All

For those of you who are new to MLU since CMP 84 was last discussed, a brief description of the event is in order, I was lucky enough to have been invited and attended.

Bill Gregg and Peter Ford were the main force behind a 1984 Historical Symposium which was held at Bill Gregg Home and showcased his extensive collection. But what was most interesting thing was that over three days a symposium was held we got to listen to and talk with many of the key people (14 individuals) behind the development of the CMP . For three days we talked and learned about CMPs and the Canadian Army in WWII.

I have posted all pictures (200+) I took at the Seminar on my web page. http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/CMP84.htm they are viewable in small file size or click on the image to view Hi Resolution.

At the bottom the page you will find printed hand outs for the symposium including the bios of the speakers.

I will forever be indebted Bart Vanderveen, Peter Ford, and Bill Gregg, for intriguing me with CMPs. The order of the names reflects the order I was lucky enough to get to know them. All true gentlemen willing to share their knowledge.

Cheers Phil

Wow, what an amazing event! And what I wouldn't give to have been there!

Thanks for the post Phil, I'm finding it fascinating and informative. I love the way they conscripted the local garage mechanic to maintain the armoured fleet! Nice job on the pics too, esp. the B&W photos, they're highly evocative of WW2 pics. After seeing these I'll definitely be doing some B&W in future, it's easily done with my digital camera. I wouldn't worry about finding the colour negs though, I doubt you'd find anyone to print them nowadays!

Yes I found it when I checked New Posts, which was about 10 seconds after I posted mine! I came back to delete my question but you got here before me!
