Penguin Mkll

[rob love]

Quite the cross section of stuff. I see L19 Cessna no702, a M101 4/3 ton trailer, and some commercial panel trucks that appear to be of slightly earlier vintage than those two.

The history on 702 shows one entry that may date the photo:

To Central Experimental and Proving Establishment at RCAF Station Namao, Alberta from 24 July 1957, for cold weather trials.

That would fit in with the timeline on the M101 trailers. The cargo truck in the background looks like a M135.

The CWM has a Penguin Mk III in their collection. It seems it is missing its tracks:

It could either be a Penguin Mk 2 or a Mk 3 as externally both vehicles look the same.
