Default Semi trailer tractors

The 115" wheelbase tractor CMP was only made by Ford, the model is F60T.

Not sure about Canadian semi trailers but there were several types made here in Australia.

The tractor trucks were standard models with a 5th wheel coupling.

Default Raf cmp

How about this CMP seen in the background, in the UK circa March 1944; it looks to have an RAF roundel on the side so would be from 2nd TAF or possibly an RAF Regiment unit, as 'ordinary' RAF Stations in the UK didn't get these vehicles- or did they!

I've been told the RAF was quite happy with Fordson 4x2 GS trucks for airfield use and that CMP 4x4's were never used by the RAF IN THE UK as the Army and 2TAF units living in the field had a greater need.

Default Here's a beauty

A really nice wartime shot of a C60X RAAF tanker with EPEX made equipment.

Lucky the camera man wasn't standing few more inches to the right Keith, or he would have missed it.
