Hi All
Another classic with a lot of Blitz in it was with the blitz ambulance in the desert. "Cold Ice In Alex" starring John Mills. Loved the movie even if there were a few ??? moments like backing up a sand dune backwards using the starter.

Cheers

No Blitz ambulance there Tony .......... that was an Austin K2 ... and if you come to Corowa next year you will see one.

Actually in that film the film company were having traction problems and a local REME unit in Libya fitted CMP axles and transfer box to make it 4x4, and this is visible in the part where they are winding the ambulance up a sand dune

Hi Richard

I just proved I know very little about CMP vehicles, However I am a Jeep man. It was still a good movie.

Cheers
