C60 cwt Signals CZMk IV

[Gunner]

Hi Gord:

Amazing work you have done on the C60! I'm in awe of your skills as a restorer! She has clearly gone to a great home and is in the hands if someone who loves what he does!

You are in a unique position compared to most restorers as your truck has more known history than most. Working backwards; Greg traded some artefacts I needed in exchange for the truck, I got it in trade with the CWM for my Ram tanks, the CWM got it direct from the RCAF where it had been modified into the generator vehicle it was. The original "King's" Crown RCAF badges and the markings for the RCAF experimental establishment were still on it when I got it. I hope you managed to salvage some of the markings. It arrived from the CWM without an engine so I can't offer any hints as to where the engine bay bits may be. All this to say I suspect that it may have been issued new to the RCAF experimental estahlishment here in Ottawa and never left 'home', hence the low milage.

Good luck with your ongoing restoration... I hope I can, like Jon Skagfield, visit one day and drive it! Better yet, maybe we can talk you into bringing it back to Ottawa someday for a big parade or similar event!

Ubique and Arte et Marte!

Mike
