Nick, I don't think you are quite right. The bus looks like an AEC S-type, which were built in the 1920s.

CMP in RAF service
Often its what is in the background of a photo that catches my eye; in this case a CMP 3 tonner with what appears to be an RAF roundel on the rear tub.
315 Polish Sqn was in the 2nd TAF when it got Mustang IIIs in March 1944 so this dates the photo to the same time judging by lack of foliage on the trees. The CMP could just be a passing 2nd TAF vehicle and not necessarily one used by the Sqn, but it is the first Canadian CMP I have seen as all the other photos of 2nd TAF tend to show only British trucks in the 3 tonner category.

Interesting
Not to mention a perfect example of a CMP 'in the background'.

Exactly - that's what I'm interested in. I still doubt they would have 'wasted' a CMP on the RAF for use in the UK, so I suspect its 2TAF waiting for D-Day!

I was told the picture was taken in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Seems like school kids are taken for a ride? H. image.jpg

CMP in 2TAF in Netherlands
I like the way they have made sure everyone knows its RAF with all those roundels! Interesting camo on the side of the CMP too!

Ebay finding
I am not RAF fan, but I guess these two pictures were not shown over here. I have found them on UK Ebay by chance searching for something else.

Jan, they are Morris Commercials. I think "D" types, built between 1932 and 1939.
