CMP chassis for what?
Hi all,
An interesting picture surfaced in December issue of "Vintage Roadscene:" The caption isn't of much help, it says: "A wartime ‘CMP’-pattern Ford, which looks to have been fitted with a framework for the fitting of a gun, searchlight or other military equipment." Is it known what exactly this equipment was? TIA. (N.B. It is in the article on Edbro Tippers Ltd, if this will help) |

Nice, that is a Truck, 15-cwt, 4x2, A.A., a.k.a. as "Ford Polsten".
They should have done some research (even a simple google search) before printing such a vague caption. Hanno

The research
Google search = a start!
Wiked-pedia = a poor start! Credible reference books = a good start! Archival files/primary sources = the best! (incoming! Duck & cover ...) Nice pic. Mike |

Thanks, Hanno!
Now it was easier, after some quick research it turned out the body is 2L1. Regretfully it isn't mentioned in the article what Edward Brothers of Bolton has to do with this body. |
