Default Blown up CMPs

In the spirit of 'In the background" here's the beginnings of a new thread of CMPs which have come to a violent end.

This C15 (neg P04734.005) on the AWM database looks to have been hit by something which shows the meaning of 'softskin'.

Does anyone else think the image has been printed back to front?

Either that or the blast moved the roof hatch to the drivers side.

Default Blown up

Could be the fastest way yet to get tyres of split rims.

Keefy,
I don't think that the photo has been reversed. I looked at a number of Blitz photos and all had the toolbox on the left and spare tyre in the right. Regards Rick

I agree as the roof hatch is on the wrong side when you look closely.

Default Steering Box

If you reverse the photo and "blow it up", the steering box is quite clear.

Not the first time I've been wrong, guess it won't be the last either. Rick
