Default Postwar parade at Haarlem

Ford F60L parading with Hispano-Suiza AA gun in the back in 1955. I have never seen this configuration before.

Defilé te Haarlem met vooraan een Ford F60L welk een Hispano-Suiza luchtdoelkanon in de laadbak heeft, gevolgd door een Dodge T110L ook voorzien van een Hispano-Suiza luchtdoelkanon.

I don't think so David. It doesn't look like a military bike. And in Holland it is hard to take a photo without a bicycle showing up in it

Default Ford F60L Ambulance

Ford F60L Ambulances and GS trucks in use during a Dutch Army exercise in 1951.

Most photos I've found of Dutch CMPs to date are those taken in depots, so I am happy to have found pics of CMPs in actual use. For good measure, I've thrown in pic of a Willys MB / Ford GPW too.
