Captured Ford C11ADF Station Wagon

[Bill Murray]

Thanks for the confirmation and the fuller explanation of the canvas bag as the whole thing rather than just a "carrier" for the kit.

And, yes, those of all military forces must become scroungers first class to keep things going or improve their situation.

You may have followed the flap stirred up when our SecDef Rumsfeld got his head handed to him relative to the lack of protective armour on some of our HumVees and most of our transport tractors. His lame explanation that "front line" equipment was adequately armoured fell on rather deaf ears considering that today the whole bloody country is the "front line". Interesting too that the young man involved pointed out that they had to scrounge scrap materiels from Kuwaiti breaker's yards to cobble up some sort of better protection for their vehicles. They called it "Hillbilly Armour". Quite fitting I thought but it is a shame that they are forced to do such things.
