Although my interest at Prefair was focused on the CMP frames, there were one or two items that caught my eye:
Photos 1. 90mm gun (sold) 2. Remaining 90mm guns (one was being "negoitiated" the other remains for sale) 3. Rifle box of some nature 4. Rifle box label 5. Rifle box exterior It is interesting to note that since the 90mm gun section has been at Prefair, there have been no air attacks in that area. As for the frames, a road trip has been organized for early Saturday morning - once again, Bob Carriere's Ford will be hauling home the rusty gold. Hopefully another HUP will find its way to the Hammond Barn this Spring...

We were at Prefair today, saw the 2 trucks even have pictures. You guys missed the old .303 rifle boxes. Good day for shopping around.

Bob When you go to Prefair tomorrow could you pickup 2 rifle boxes for me. They are for the .303 rifle. They are located on the shelf closest to the storage room. When you go in thru the front door turn left, go to the wall, you will see a camo tent, turn right go 20 ft and the 2 boxes are there on the right on the ground. Green 6-8 in wide, 5 ft long. Bottom and the top. We paid $10 ea. We should have bought the 4. Thanks Gilles

Prefair will soon lose it's protection from air attacks. I have information that all 3 guns are to be heading out west, likely in the spring. |

Man we sure picked a day for recovery.... snow fall did not last long but was like a blizzerd at times.... left 5:30 am arrived 8:30 ... waited.. loaded and back home by 2:00 pm...unloaded by 4 pm....
One HUP for parts and a shortened C60...... with a C15a front axle.... no ID tags but would bet it is an Aussie PE-197- model..... now all resting at the Hammond barn...... Enjoy the Canadian Winter scene.... Boob

Hi
Glad to see you are keeping up the tradition of picking up CMPs in the dead of winter, your right about the mosquitoes down along with the snakes, wasps, etc. All three of my CMPs came home with snow on the ground, makes loading so much more fun. Cheers Phil

Nice finds. Bob, your second picture looks like the red truck is "taking advantage" of the yellow one.

Bob, If only we could breed them...I wonder what the offspring of a HUP and a C60 would be?
