The December triucks belong to Phil Waterman...New Hampshire ,USA...should be given the credits on the calander page..Phil is one of the original guys with Dr Gregg who started collecting and saving these Trucks..That C8A is the original CBC truck that was used to broadcast the CBC news from Europe after D Day....A very historic CMP..

Thanks for the kind words about being one of the long term CMP collectors. I got into this hobby/obsession because of Bart Vanderveen's books.

Minor correction though, my HUP was used by the BBC British Broadcasting Company in New York City. You are correct the CBC used several HUPs, I believe four, to cover the war in Europe.
