Default post 3 middle photo

The middle photo of the street parade appears to be of an 11 cab CMP as I can clearly see what appears to be the radiator cap on top of the grill surround. Would I be correct?

Nice pictures, Tomas. One more good reason to start on my Austin Tilly is to bring her to Czech republic in one of the coming years.

Cliff, that's an 11 cab all right. Another indicator is the lack of a roof hatch. Nice pictures.

Default Czechoslovak token force may 1945

thank you for answers,
please see on more pictures
www.fotoalbum.eu/higgins

think this operation "token force" to east across Germany to Czech country was wery exceptional, we make after 63 years monument in Kyšice village,
token force was here 8.may 1945.
I try send tu MLU pages more pictures, I have problems with sending big pictures,
info enthusiast canadian armed forces - Czechoslovak independent arm.brig.group was under command 1st canadian army and many vehicles and equpments was from canadian stores.

for Rob - its nice idea!
I want see you on Beltring show.
Oh I like tillys, but very expesive.
