Update:
- broken links fixed (Dirk, can you fix your own of the nice girl in front of you on the Lynx?);
- some related threads merged in an effort to keep track of where Dutch CMPs are going.

See Dutch CMPs for an update, including a number of CMPs under restoration: Cab 11 FAT, C60S Wrecker:


F15A Cab 11 CMD 4119, originally restored in the UK, ex-De Vrij, has found a new home in Belgium:


Good news is a recently restored Carrier:


And of course we should mention forum member Alex's Chev C8 cab 11!


Enjoy!
Hanno

Hi Niels,

The CMPs currently in Holland come from a lot of places: Holland, Belgium, England (my F15A), Canada, Denmark, Norway (my 20-cwt trailer), France, and most likely some more places.

I understand this CMP came from Denmark:


Regards,
Hanno

Dirk, "fox" is bargoens voor aantrekkelijk meisje. That´s why I said "Which nice girl? I was watching the Lynx, not the Fox! "

And thanks for the picture of the Fox also!

M.vr.groet,
Hanno

Here's a C15A which had a civilian career in post-war Holland (quite rare actually for a truck to actually survive that).

Some details:
Chassis s/n 2844429544
Ordernr. LV 311
Date of delivery: November 4-42
Vehicle model C15441-M-VAN-2

This C15A has remains of an air recognition roundel on the roof and a "56" on a red square. Who knows what that stands for?

Default White 56 on red square

Personally, my ignorance of the meaning of this symbol is huge but Mark W. Tonner has a white 55 on a red square on all of his posts that is so similar that I feel he will be able to help once he sees this thread.

Default 56

A red square with a white 56 is used by the second battalion in the senior brigade of an infantry or airborne division. This true for both Canadian and British units. The red square with the white 55 is the 1st battalion of the same brigade. On the other side of the vehicle would be a patch that indicates which division the vehicle belonged to.

. . . with a star painted over it, denoting use in NW Europe. From Italy to Holland?
