Though not exactly my stuff (Lend-Lease to Russia), I didn't want to leave this pic unpublished on the forum.
Believe it or not, it's already downsized to 20 percent...
It shows the 1954 autopark of the Belgian Gendarmerie and is part of the collection of the "Historical Service of the Belgian Federal Police".
I received it via a fellow truck painter, Mr. Christian Toumpsin from Brussels.
He wrote me :
"In 1945, the Gendarmerie was equipped with lot of Commonwealth and US surplus :
- Chevrolet CMP,
- Scout Car White,
- Scout Car Daimler MkI,
- Staghound Armored Car with cannon and
- Staghound with twin AA guns,
- Scout Car Humber Mk I.
The Chevrolet CMP remained in active use till mid-fifties.
They were replaced by Ford F5 Cargo, Bedford RLC Cargo and FN 4RM "Ardennes" Police Squad Truck."

Oliver.
