Three Spitfires VC at Italy (Canne) and a CMP at the background. C-60L ?
SOURCE: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205209399 One interesting point to me (after the C-60L at the back!) is that the third spit far from the camera is the no. JK226 which was transferred from the RAF to RHAF (Greek Air Force) around 1946.

Here's an interesting one
Seen on Facebook, a 5 Sqn Boomerang with a CMP 3-tonner in the background.

Wonder what happened to the Boomerang. It appears to have sustained very little damage for a 'wheels up' landing - even the prop blades we can see appear straight, and they are usually well bent in such cases. Engine already stopped before landing, perhaps?
Do you have a date on the image, Keith? According to Wilson's book, A46-32 was w/o after it collided with A46-36 near Parkes, NSW, in December 1944, but the damage we see here doesn't look that bad: maybe this is another occasion? Nice one Keith! Mike C |

Presumably it had almost stopped and would have been undamaged but for the ditch.

Almost in the background
Here's a pic of Lancaster A66-2 G for George being dismantled at RAAF Fairbairn for insertion into the AWM.
The Lancaster flew as part of the Victory Loan tour in March and April of 1945 visiting airfields in the Eastern states and South Australia. It was accompanied by Beaufort A9-580 which was also allocated to the AWM but sadly wound up being scrapped. The CMP was a configuration used by the RAAF.

I.d
Location is the back lawn of 7 short street, Ganmain, where my father grew up. The boys in the picture are Dad's mates Jonesy and Britto. Britto is still with us and I emailed him a copy of this photo. Not sure of the dogs name, pretty sure he/she is deceased.

A c15a
Here's an interesting one, and the video is fun to watch too. The Australian National Film and Sound Archive have their own Youtube channel and produced a driving mash up including this nice C15A civvy tow truck with a sunshine roof and a very naughty boy about to hold on for a free ride.
Here's the link. The blitz is at about 3:10.

Another archival film
Not a CMP this time, but seen in the early part of a 1961 Jaguar film what looks like a Guy Ant tow truck.
Here's the movie link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKJPFRNO344

Speaking of Guy Quad Ants in movies there's a similarly brief appearance by one in the film Billy Liar, towing an antique artillery piece in a military parade. The scene involves one of Billy's daydreams in which he imagines himself as the victorious Brigadier Fisher, returning from glorious campaign to the adulation of the huge crowd, and saluting the King and Queen as he passes by on his white steed mount! As always he wakes up to his mother screeching at him to get up and go to work!

Looks more like a Morris Quad GT to me. Whatever it is, well spotted! Mike C |

Definitely a Morris C8. The Guy Quad Ant has rectangular windscreens.

From another film
A Canadian 2C1 bodied F15 in the background of this National Archives film about Darwin. There are other ex MVs in the movie too, it's a good watch.

You're right Richard, Kurt would have to be the most likely suspect as owner/operator. There is a second Diamond T further back alongside of its trailers waiting for the first one to move out.
Most of those drums must have been empty. There would have been some interesting ones among them. David

That scene is typical of photos of his trucks in his book, A Son of the Red Centre. I seem to recollect he had the contract to collect the drums from military bases etc and bring them South. He designed the self tracking trailers too, using axles from military trailers (Carrier trailers I think). This reminds me to read the book again. cheers Richard

There is one of Kurt's Diamond Ts with two of his trailers hitched up to it on display at the Road Transport Hall of Fame near Alice Springs.
The truck is named Bertha and had been modified by Kurt with a lengthened chassis and from memory a GM 6-71 diesel in place of the original Hercules DFXE. It's an impressive rig even by todays standards and is in its rightful place as a part of Australian history. David

Here is Kurts Diamond T in the parade in Alice Springs in 2010.
The trailers were at the Road Transport Hall of Fame. Check out the hubs. Regards Rick.

Kurt's DT's
I remember my first visit to Alice in 1992, we had a lay over during the Variety Bash and heard of a railway museum, went over there and I was more interested in the derelict trucks laying around, the two Diamond T's and trailers, a Bedford OL and a real rarity, the Rotinoff Viscount. This was 3 years before the truck museum, never thought at the time that I would be back so soon, when we were present for the opening of the Transport Hall of Fame in '95. All these trucks except the Bedford now in the museum.

Hi all:
This thread is getting pretty large, so this may have been posted earlier, but......... A CMP in Norway in the background. I believe it was used by the SAS or some such infiltration organization sometime in the war. There was no useful caption on the photo. Bill

One more from Norway.
Seems they kept CMP's in service for quite a long time. Bill
