It is mostly complete but in bad need of body work and new canvas. Can anyone provide me with the background of this vehicle.

Thanks

Thanks for the Info. Is Holding Unit 0131 The Windsor Regt? I was thinking it came from Petawawa due to the CFR being close to the ones there but a plesent surprise.

Thanks

I went back through the Maint Logs again, as they are a good way to track vehicle movements. All of the maint performed on your 38A1 was either at CFB London (Windsor Regt) or CFB Borden. IIRC, HU0131 is ASU London.

Would you know the history of CFR 67-08318. This might have been a jeep used for parts at some point.

Thanks so much for the help. I would like to personally thank you on my way through Oromocto tomorrow as I visit my friends at the Armoured School.

Dave,

I'll check out your parts Jeep for you as soon as I get a chance.

I will most likely be tied up tommorrow with training, but I appreciate the gesture.

Bit of irony that your 38A1 ended up coming from an Armd unit, although, judging by your Avatar, i'd imagine you were hoping for an RCD Jeep. Worked out well for you either way, plus you can put the Recce kit (MG mount etc) on it without being a poser I have collected 3 x 151s now, and still no luck getting an original Fd Engr Jeep. 2 CER never even used M151s, so I was hoping to find a 22 Fd Sqn carcass out this way, but i've given up as most have returned to the earth now. I'm going to find a CFR from a 4 CER M151A2 on the Database, as I know those were all destroyed in situ at Lahr, so I don't have to worry about stealing someone elses CFR.

Scotty, I was actually hoping it came from the VIII CH as the RCD were in Germany and when I arrived on the driver wheeled portion of my TQ3 all the M38A1's were marshalled to leave the regiment and the new Iltis were arriving. I'll take Windsor Regt and I will track down some friends there and see if they have any pictures of my jeep during its regimental service.

The 151's while I was in Pet were only at the Airborne Regt with the 106 guys if my memory serves me right. The iltis didn't have the capability.

Did Canada use the M40A1 106mm Recoilless Rifle on the M151A2, I was under the impression that weapon was only mounted on the M38A1.

As far as M151A2 use in Petawawa goes, I know that 2 Field Ambulance used them and 2 Combat Engineer Regiment and 2 Military Police Platoon did not.
