Bob I would point out the many CMPs that made it onto farms, to the corner gas station as snow plow trucks and recovery vehicles and even forklift conversions, for many years after they were surplused in Canada. I remember a time when they were to be found almost everywhere in rural Ontario.

The Cold War Collection was driving around rural West Quebec doing crew training, recovery practise, and otherwise hanging out with our other volunteer crew member pals. At one halt, after I did my walk around the vehicle looking for anything loose or flapping, MLU member Robin Craig asked me sagely if I'd seen anything in 'that' woodline from my driver's seat. Umm. No. Why? He then directed my gaze to a CMP front end sitting quietly with the brush growing out and around it. That was only 3-4 years ago.
