Default CMP-cab 11, SFDU (Secret Floral Delivery Unit) Holland 1945

Hello all

thought you might get a kick out of this, the virus has spurred a beautify the shop program...This is the Grant Hopkins Memorial Garden, and not to worry, he is still alive... but he won't last forever!

Now we just need to get the fence finished to keep Harry Moon out of the yard!

Soon there will be a tree growing up through the frame and it will be advertised as "Ran when parked".

Default Don White Tulip

Excellent John!

I'll ask if they send Don White, veteran of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, C Squadron, 1st Troop, 1st Canadian Armoured Car Regiment, around to plant some of the tulips named after him.

Hanno

we would be honored to have Don come and plant tulips and either way we will be planting Tulips for VE day in his and all the veterans honor, thanks for the great idea!

Harry I'm saving the Cab 13 for another top secret unit...the little known CMP mobile hot tub transport (MHTT)

Stay healthy and all the best guys


John
