Ref trailers - when I ran my trailer's number it was anticlimactic. There was virtually no money spent on it, and almost no work orders listed. Only some interunit transfers, but nothing earthshaking.

One thing to remember with the older 50s equipment was that there was some fairly large releases in the early 70s when Trudeau Sr reduced the size of Canada's army. Because those vehicles and trailers left so early, they are not included in the EDR viwer. Data only starts to appear there in the 77/78 time period.
Often the early release stuff can be spotted because they are still in the single olive colour (no cam) and later mods will be missing, such as west coast mirrors on deuces, or the complete sandblasting that the trailers were subjected to in the early 80s.

Thanks again for doing the search for me. What I was mostly interested in is, the bases it had been on and how it ended up here on the Vancouver Island. When we got the trailer the owner had left it full of gravel so there wasn't much left of the box! We did a full rebuild and now pull it behind the 45 Willys MB.

For the record, CFR 70-08854 is on the road

Can we still find CFR Numbers?
I don't know if the TRW that I just got running ever had one...I'm suggesting it was one of the last issued in 76 for the olympics. Maybe never had a cfr plate issued?

There are only 6 triumphs listed in the EDR viwer....yours is not one of them.
My money says all motorcycles held in the Canadian army would have been issued a CAR/CFR number. It just may not have made it onto the tank or number plate. Your serial is certainly right in the group of Cdn numbers.

Thanks rob
when I first joined up (72) I'd often get tasked with the admin run to the Highbury Ave supply depot in London. There were 99 of these bikes in crates..3 wide, three high, and 11 long, with the great big TRIUMPH stencil on the side. One crate had a few slats off and I would gawk. Every time. The pile got a bit smaller every now and then and the last were issued to the Sigs regiment for the 76 Olympics. I was hoping that this may be one of them..
