CF Photo reference material available

[Dano McLaren]

Robin, I just went there and registered and had a browse through. It seemed hard to find Canadian stuff. I have scans and was wondering if it would be wrong just to post them here or if someone had seen a similar thing done.

Pardon me for weighing in but have either one of you gentlemen thought of creating your own photo library site? An excellent example of such can be found here created by Don Allen (aka 8Hussar). He's managed to organize hundreds of photos from his collection which are easily accessible by a viewer. All of the categories are self-explanable.

Just a thought.

Cheers,
Dan.

Thanks Dan. Went there and had a look. Nice collection of pictures. I have googled CDN army vehicles many times and hadn't found that group. I guess what I am after is something similar to "the early deuce" site, that just has a stream of photos. The photo bucket is good, but if you hadn't told me about it, I would never have seen those pics. I always look forward to Clyde's books. Happy to hear there are two more in the works. I just got an Iltis and they are a great reference source. I still think there is a better way to get pics of vehicles from the 60s to 80s without a photo bucket or website. I am currently looking for photos of the M-152 penthouse. I have found two pics of this truck with MP markings, but thats all I can find.

Dear Clive Dan and Dano,

Clive, made ya look didn't I? My work is done! Just yanking your chain Clive because I can. I will email you off line about your wants

Dan and Dano, I have way too many interests to spend all day and night organising what I have right now, although it is gratifying to know others are looking for what is nit around which makes me feel so much better for having taken the pictures in the fist place.

I think it will have to wait until I get to the old folks home before I stop doing other things to put them all up. I thousands of them.

Anyhow, yes I have more that I should share, maybe an online free album is the way to go.

It is quite laborious scanning them all.

Maybe Clive remembers this event many many moons ago? Were any of you on board?

These images are by the late Andy Graham with whom I shared a lot of photography and whom I shared a small photo business with. We have both been published.

At this event I was co conspirator and co Stolly operator along with another dude.

Looks like fun.

Dear Stuart + others,

as long as the mods are ok I am going to keep everything within MLU, after all you are already here and it keeps things together.

I want to make it very clear that I would REALLY prefer that others not post pictures of their fixes etc into the galleries i'm starting, lets just keep them the reference material and comments on those pictures alone. Keep things on topic.

These are not being scanned at the highest resolution, and I am a luddite and a technophobe as far as eletrickery, windows 8 is driving me nuts.

Hope you will all enjoy my efforts. It was fun all those years taking them as I knew when they would see the light of day people will be surprised as to what really went on rather than what is written in a manual.

These images are my copyright, ask before filching them.

Robin,

Great to see you are unearthing your slides, MLU is happy to serve as a platform for sharing them.

You could also try the album feature here http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/album.php
We have not used it to date, but since it is part of the forum's functionality why not let us try it.
