Bill Gregg Collection
The Bill Gregg Collection is somewhat legendary for the number of nice Second World War Canadian vehicles he had managed to collect. Here are some photographs that I took way back in the summer of 1982.

Strange you should post those pictures
Hi Ed
Strange that you should find and post those pictures of the Bill Gregg's collection. Last month I was helping someone with and article on CMPs and they wanted original photos at Hi Resolution. So I wanted to send him the my pictures of the Gregg Collection from 1984. The files are to big to send via normal e-mail accounts so I posted them all to my site but I had not gotten around to posting the link to MLU. So here are all the pictures I took in 1984 http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.com/CMP84.htm Your pictures bring back memories of a very informative couple of days. Cheers Phil

Great Photos!
Yes, that was in 1984. I am in photo 81 with the ball cap on and holding the camera. I beleive that had just come back from the 40th D-Day Anniversary in Normandy which might have been a few weeks earlier.

Thanks for the memories....
Fantastic collection of pictures Phil.......
..... I remember walking the fields back in 1981..... and gaining a better understanding of the cab 11 I had purchased in 1979 at a farm auction.... that had been left behind at a friends farm in Almonte when moving to TO. The unrestored CGT was still in aluminum paint as had been found in the back shop of a Chrysler dealer in Pickering....about 1/2 mile from where I lived..... Never imagined that I would then move back to Ottawa in 1990 and dig up the cab 11 in 1996...... I even bought my first book from Gregg...... but never thought of asking him for an autograph....... Fond memories..... Bob C.

The man in the middle
Hi
The man in the middle was Bill's mechanic and was responsible for much of the restoration an maintenance of the collection. Will dig through my stuff to see I can find his name. Dose anyone have Barts article in Wheels and Tracks to share with those new to CMPs. Cheers Phil
