But talking only about CMPs, yes, we had some of them, in company of C15TAs. It seems all they came arrived as "farm equipment" under some strange treaty before the USA started to send us military material.

Ah, the
Spanish 'Trumphys'! Any of these surviving in museums, private collections, scrap yards even? Or were they left out in the Sahara?

My own father worked with them, he remembers them quite well from his early 60s in the army ("those ugly, ugly trucks with reversed windscreen and Ford Canada at the front..." said smiling to me a day. "Ugly, dad? They are wonderful!!!")

Always good to hear there's a family connection with CMPs. My dad was a small boy when the war ended in Indonesia and remembers those trucks with reversed windscreens the British liberators drove in. My wife thinks my CMP is ugly too
Cheers,
