Does anyone have a photo of a CMP being loaded or unloaded from a vessel by this method during WW2? Would be great to see one.

Cheers,

I have two photos showing cargo nets around the wheels and cables to the towing rings but none showing lifting from the wheel hubs as per the Inter above.

Lifting rings on CMP wheels only came into use with late model CMP's prob 1944/45 manufacture. Earlier one's did not have them.
