Ford Canada Factory....

Right, that's convinced me! Juliette, SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED, has said that she wants to come over already..her dad's brother was a Professor of Mathematics at Ottawa, and he and his wife had five children. Her uncle is in his eighties now, and her aunt has just decided to remarry after many years of divorce. J has not seen her cousins for years. Her dad is in Ottawa at the moment with his partner, a widow of even age, and they are seeing J's uncle. Fred was a RAFVR pilot during the war and trained at various bases around Canada. I mentioned before that he went to Coastal Command on Catalinas but when twin-training on an Anson spotted a U-boat and this led to a big sub-hunt when they got back as it was one that the RCAF were after.

I have of course tried the NFB archives by mail and nothing was revealed as to the existence of the movie fim. The photos I have secured were just prints and negs had to be made of them...one is now an electronic thumbnail on the computerised index when you access it. It's of C30 chassis being assembled in October 1940. I just wish that we could find the others in the series and also the movie..I have asked the CNA people in the past to look into it for me and scanned the index and archives remotely.


The 1942 Model F60H must be an Indian Army order I think...the photo I have of a F60H # 13 Can Wrecker in what appears to be North Africa has a canvas roof..Australian? It also has standard type tyres.
