What I meant was that, given that the UK was developing/building the Terrapin as a DUKW alternative, I’d think it unlikely they would need another DUKW alternative on the basis of a CMP. Unless, of course, that was perhaps developed alongside the Terrapin? But then I would think there would be information about it in sources relating to Terrapin development.

I remembered yesterday that I recently helped out P.M. Knight with some Dutch translations for a book he’s writing about the Terrapin, and thought I’d e-mail him to see if he knows anything about this CMP-DUKW-thing in relation to the Terrapin. He wrote back to say:—

This sounds like a job for a Colin Alford to dig into the archives…

Possibly P.M. Knight’s lead (see above) may set Colin off in the right direction.

It appears that my services have been requested.
Here are my initial results: According to the file list for the CMHQ “55” block files, the amphibian vehicles are in the 55/1350 series: https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/o..._reel_c5770/19 Unfortunately, it appears that the 55/1350 series files should be on microfilm C-5783 which is not available online. I stumbled across this very interesting document which gives details on Canadian vehicles assembled in the UK, and claims to list all local contracts for vehicle bodies and modification kits. It does not mention any amphibious vehicles: https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/o...eel_c5781/4514 Please note, ATDB normally stands for Army Technical Development Board, which was succeeded by DVD (Directorate of Vehicle Development) late in the war. I’ll attempt some more research later. |

This was a test of the Colin Alford notification system…..
