Hi Jim
I am willing to be shot down in flames on this one. But I have picked up from various books and pics over the years that: apart from service in Canada itself and the U.K., many C8 and F8's ended up in the Nth Africa/Middle East theatre - where they were definately used by British, New Zealand and Australian units and probably other nations ..even the opposing enemy ! I wonder if some of the 8 cwts were shipped directly from Canada to Nth Africa. From memory, this was the case with the light stone finished Dodge D8A's, so maybe the same thing occured with C8 and F8.
