CFR Request Thread

[Aide Memoire]

It's a G-Wagon. Looks like it experienced some minor side collision but got cashiered anyway. Museum has it now.

Hi Ed: Is there any information on CFRs 08814 or 08321? Thanks in advance for your help.

Here you go Wayne,

08321 was a M38A1CDN2 with winch that was sold out of CFB Wainwright in September 1987.

08814 was a M38A1CDN3 that was sold out of CFB Calgary in February 1987.

The 1967 delivery CDN2 series was probably the most common 'on the floor' during my reserve service. The CDN3s were later and less numerous. The 1953 CDN1s were all gone by 1976.

The w/winch was definitely less numerous. Although there were a few soldiers trusted to use the winch, for the most part it was just a heavy lump on the front end and an extra internal lever.

Many thanks, Ed. Great info.
