Normandy 2009 - the machines

[Alex van de Wetering]

Normandy was excellent, but more on that later.

Here is a start regarding CMP's:

1st picture: Two HUPS on Omaha Beach, Dog green, June 4th. One from Norway (?) and one from Belgium

2nd picture: Chevrolet LAAT from MLU member Keith Orpin on the Etreham campsite....What a beautiful truck and a great attention to detail.....bumper jewels, overflow tank with nice badges, great canvas....nice padlocks....just terrific. Didn't have the chance to meet Keith though.

3rd and 4th: Very nice Ford Derrick seen at Pegasus museum on June 5th. The truck seems to be from Switzerland...Chris, do you know the owner? I loved the wooden rear plate hiding the camping interior.

5th: Another terrific truck and another forum member, Jim Sewell's Sigvan on the Etreham campsite.
