Ford GPA

[wim sikkelbein]

New information has come to light on the Canadian gpa's.
Information by Jan Roelse:

On the return list of deelen airfield 1946 there is a mention of 3 ford gpa amphibian jeeps, the Dutch army most likely used two of these until 1957-58 with the engineer bridge detachment (don't know if this is the right translation) afterwards 2 ended up in soesterberg for safe keeping and have eventual been sold to the public. One of these is thought to be in possession of a "keep them rolling" member here in Holland. One ended up with a Dutch farmer and one was used during the 1953 "watersnoodramp" here in Holland.
