Update!

New (to me) C8A HUP:


Recently restored C15A and Otter (see album for before pictures):


Couple of post-war 15-cwt conversions:


British vehicles are becoming more popular in Holland: brace of Tillies. . .


. . . and a Fordson WOT2 recently imported from the UK.

(One of our forum members recently brought one home from Germany and restored it in record time.)

A unique Dutch C15TA was sadly exported - but we can't keep them all:


Enjoy!

An ex-RNLAF F60L has turned up in Belgium, identified by the red-white-blue-orange-dot roundel on the left-hand front cowl.

The last picture shows an early post-war picture of "Luchtstrijdkrachten (LSK)" vehicles. Next to the roundel on the left side, the F15A has "LSK 324" on the right side of the cowl.

Has anyone found these types of markings on their CMP?

Thanks,
Hanno

It's not an unusual position of the brush guard but a late one. Here are some details:

Dirk,

Could that F60L be one of a batch of F60L's which were assembled by NV Nederlandsche Ford Automobiel Fabriek in Amsterdam early after WW2? Reportedly these were late production crated vehicles.

Interesting find! I guess the truck spent a fair amount of it's life in Belgium after demob from the Dutch Air force. I seems to show the typical Belgian headlight relocation...closed up normal position of the headlights and the holes in the bumper for replacement headlights (?)

This ex-RNLAF CMP turns out to be an F15A - see more pictures in CMPs for sale in Belgium.

As the inside of the cab is painted red, I thought this F15A could have served as a fire fighting vehicle, either while in RNLAF service or after. However, on this site I found a ca. 1948 picture of an "Ford F15L Manschappen-slangenwagen" (personnell and hose truck) at Air Force Base Leeuwarden. It seems the interesting array of vehicles are any shade of green, but red!
