Canadian Humbers?

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I am not certain how these vehicles were accounted for in financial exchanges between the War Office and Minstry of Supply and the Canadian High Commission but would imagine that there was some form of payment, as happened as per 1941 agreement with the Commonwealth of Australia etc. I know the British were keen to sell vehicles to Commonwealth Governments as hard currency was needed for foodstuff purchases but I cannot rule out as the title suggests an off-set for British supplies from Canadian. On another thread we have that Canadian GPA with British WD Census Number which suggested to me that it was another vehicle "sold" to the High Commission.

As we know by 1946 the respective Governments agreed a final monetary settlement so I suppose it all became rather academic at that point.
