Still the same spot where we picked up the Staghound just before the CMP Seminar started? Bart got a kick out of that drive, following you down the highway!

The gentleman sitting on the left of picture 52(?) with glasses and tie is the engineer who designed the flail tank. He was from Brantford and got bumped up in rank and sent overseas, John somebody ..will have to check the CMP Seminar booklet.

Default CMP 84 Seminar Program Book

Hi Bob

A while back I added the Seminar Program Book to my web page the pages are at the very end http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/CMP84.htm .

There were two gentlemen on the panel with the first name John, reading their bios I'm not sure which it is. In my photos take a look at picture 204.

Cheers Phil

Phil, there are some good photographs on your site that bring back some fond memories. Here are a couple of photographs that I took at the event.

Darn....all those guys are standing in front of the trucks. I'm interested in the 15cwt that they are standing in front of. We have a very nice and fairly complete Ford in the dustbowl compound. I strongly suspect it was restored once,as it is very complete, and has (had) newish non-directional tires on it. I am wondering if this was the truck, and was it a runner back then?


I have pulled it towards the gate of the dustbowl to bring it over to the main building. Hopefully it can be brought back to life in the upcoming years.

With respect to the 15cwt in the photo..
while I may be wrong ( feel free to point it out..) I believe that truck was a 15cwt chevy that belonged to Brian Asbury who had brought it down to the seminar. I believe it currently belongs to Jim Ritchie.

Bob. I have not found the photos yet but you may be correct. I seem to recall something ‘wireless’ about that 15-cwt. Some discussions took place among us regarding where equipment was typically stored on it such as the 34-foot telescopic and 20-foot antenna masts.
