Default No8 FAT

Got to love the No8 Arty tractor with the 17 per and back door open for some ventilation! The pic underneath that looks like one of the Canadian imported F15s, with another one below. The interesting thing is that broadly speaking the CMPs have followed the official drawings for the disruptive colour.

One pic may actually show shadows and not a pattern.

Great pictures but I was wondering why no Morris C8's, did they not have a role in Australia? I always wonder where mine came from and what it's purpose was.
Any thoughts.

Default Morris

The C8 GS could have been a post war import ?

The GS version is very rare here . The 2 pounder portees were A WARTIME IMPORT ... I would think - and these are rather uncommon as well
NZ got some of the art tractors but seems we didn't

Thanks Mike I will dig a bit deeper, I have a box full of photo's of the C8 as it progressed through time, mainly around the Toowoomba area along with another C8. Nothing wartime and that's what I wanted.
