Default Post-war

CT, it does seem that very few relativeloy CMPs were retained by the Ministry of Supply for the post-war British forces but there is ample photographic evidence that demobbed CMPs were widely used into the 1960s by all manner of users. But so many it seems had been reconfigured by the post-war rebuilders.

As an off[-topic subject, an English guy who did some work for us on our house around 1987 swore that he served in Vietnam, It seems that he and his mate were in the nUS and as a result of a bet he volunteered for the US Army, ending up as a helicopter pilot. I gather that there were very few British-born servicemen that served but that included men who had emigrated to Australia.
