Sorry to resusciate this thread but:
1. In the film THE LIFE & TIMES OF COLONEL BLIMP, 1943, GMC CCKW-353 trucks are featured in what was it is now believed THE BULL pub / hotel in Gerrard's Cross, Buckinghamshire, a short drive away from Haymill Camp on the Burnham Road.

2. I desperately need to find the number of vehicles that Capt R J Rekert and the guys from 2 Det rescued from the CMD, Southampton 30 November/1 December 1940. I thought it was 78, but can't now find the figures! There was a reference in TO THE THUNDERER HIS ARMS but can't find my copy now, and I believe that it might also be in the third copy of the 1 and 2 Det War Diaries that Clive sent me...I only have two after our house move.
