Post War Life of CMPs
I know there is a thread that dwelt with the post mililitary life and use of CMPs but couldn't find it. A friend just sent me this picture with only the notation "Sent to me by someone with a CCKW". Truck looks to be in current use at the time of the photo.
PS the guy who sent me the picture has a neat CCKW web site http://cckw.org/

Book
I have just finished editing my pictorial book that features rebuilds, 1946-8. There will also be a large section on rebuild activities in the second of the series.
However what amazes me most I suppose is that the old FATs, which had of course got a handy winch if it was still there, were often sold off and used as agricultural tractors! In a post-war world where there were no tractors available, save ex-Army/RAF ones, it makes sense. However I would suggest that the wreckers were the most sought-after in unrebuilt condition. There were however some really oddball-looking civilianised conversions on 4x4 CMP chassis, and you will have to see the book to believe it!

“Construction workers building roads in the Negev Desert, Israel, 17th August 1950“
Nice late C15A: note the lifting slings on the hubs, expansion tank under the mudguard, jerry can holder under the cargo bed etc.

From You Tube video Early CMP F15 / C15 well gone in the famous Rush Green scrapyard. Has a breakdown crane on back.
Well worth watching whole video on You Tube as scrapyard stacked with interesting post war vehicles civil and military. See- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWOPN6Z5tzA Last edited by chalky; 24-04-21 at 22:08.
