Surviving LAAT register

[Keith Orpin]

Hi Rhett,
Great idea ! . Your totally correct with the Ford versions, in that a number have survived, however, the C 30 (13 cab) Chevy version seems to be a very rare bird, certainly here in England / Europe. I know Rob Fast in Canada has a C30 LAAT, and I know of a cab 12 C30 in Wales, which is in need of rebuild, but apart from that.....
Anyway, attached is a picture of mine taken 4 years ago in France.
Regards
Keith

Hi,

I have an F-60S "Dump" and an F-60S "Derrick". Do they qualify?

Cheers.

Hold on a minute, guys! Whilst I applaud and share your enthusiasm (obsession?) for Canadian military vehicles, I refer you to my thread starter i.e. LAATs. Although it would be wonderful to have a register of ALL surviving CMPs, it would require a very special person to collate the information and present it in an easily referenced and accessible format. So, to reiterate, I'd like to confine it to vehicles originally built as LAATs, whether modified or not, complete or in a state of decay, or even large lumps e.g. chassis and bodies. However, if there are people who are keen to compile a definitive international list of all CMPs, I'll happily stand to one side while you're forming the queue!

Rhett,

I know of four LAAT's here close to home in Holland, two of them for sale. (will post some pics when I have the time) I am sure there is at least a fifth, maybe more in Holland.
In the UK I am positive there are at least two original LAATs fitted with non-standard bodies and an origianl but slightly burnt example our own Nigel Watson has for sale in the for sale section here in MLU.

Rhett,

There is a very nice operational Ford F60S LAAT in the Cobbaton Combat Collection, Devon, UK, operated by Preston and Tim Isaac.

This is one of the Ford F60S LAATs in Holland, one of the ex-French Navy reserve ones:

If you are thinking of another one Rhett............? then make it an F60 because you can't have your tyres back.
Cheers,
