Wartime pictures wanted: CMP F15A
 

Somehow wartime pictures of F15A's seem thin on the ground. Let's see how many we can gather here!

Thanks,
Hanno

First one was taken in Holland. Reportedly, this is a Royal Canadian Dragoons vehicle which was pictured at a place called De Blesse. Census number seems to be CZ4256418, if I read it right.

Second one was taken in Amsterdam, 1945:

this one is of my uncle's f60l in driebergen, holland, in 1945. yes it's not a 15a, but a worthy shot none the less.

Here's one taken at Monegeeta where it was used in trials.

This was the one used for the power to weight trials.

From MILIFAX:

This Picture was made in the Reichswald Forrest near my Home :D

Is this a Jeep Vehicle Trailer ???

Yes, it is a plain 1/4-ton Bantam / Willys MBT trailer. Known as a 10-cwt trailer in the Canadian Army.

From Rod Diery's site - F15A in British service

While not an F15A, nevertheless a classic shot of a 15-cwt CMP in wartime service.

Again, I know it's not an F15A, however it's a nice shot of several C15A 's, taken by my father when he was serving in India. This was the Royal Signals Div Headquarters in Dehra Dun, in 1945.

And here is my father, sadly no longer with us, with his Chevy, again in India 1945

C15 or F15 Inservice in Canada
 

Here are some photos I picked up a year ago that show CMPs inservice during the war in Canada, during a winter exercise.

Great pictures Phil !. The LAAT that is in trouble looks like a C30 to me. I'm glad I wasn't driving it !!

Wonder what bent?
 

Looking at Bofors tow bar I wonder which bent or twisted? Do Bofors have swivel lunette? Given that several of the pictures show MVs skidded into the snow banks or laying on there sides wonder how many other times this happened during the exercise.

In the C15 vain thought people would find the tires interesting.

Keith, Phil, thanks for both your contributions!

Interesting to see those regular road tread tyres on this F15A:

I know this one's a Chev, but it's an interesting camo job. This would be the leaf camo that turned into the Mickey Mouse ears. What would the two colours be on this one?
Hanno, the windows in the canvas seem to be a light cloth instead of plastic.
Regarding the tires in Phil's picture, I read that they used civvy tires in Canada to save on rubber when the heavy military tires weren't required.

I don't remember where I got this one but it's labeled F15 new.

A Chev factory photo.

Here's a factory photo of a winterized Chev.

Another of the same truck.

One more.

Now a few factory photos with the 2B1 box.

I guess this is a Chevy.

I have found some photos of 11 and/or 12 cab 15cwt trucks taking part in an exercise in UK, possibly during 1941, judging by the early style camo on the vehicles. The architecture of the buildings would suggest the photos were taken in the county of Kent.

The first, attached, is AA truck with the Vickers m.g. and the angled Census number on the door, is particularly interesting, I think.

Another, with a slat grill Jeep.

A nice picture of a convoy of 15cwts.
