London Bus Strike
Another from the Daily Mail [see thread "Jeep Question"] Apparently London bus drivers went on strike in April of 1944 - the Army was called in to help and some of their vehicles were used. Posted here because of the CMP running service No 58.

Yes I did note the Bedford, here's a link to another photo I found Here
Looks like an Austin K2? and is that a Scamell mechanical horse in the background - looks like it belongs to one of the railway companies Noel

Pretty sure that is an early CMP, going by the front wings and narrow cab, either a Chev C30 or Ford F30...........what the Aussies call a Monkey Face Blitz.

I have just noticed that the picture I posted a link to shows rounded wheel arches - did not CMPs have square ones? - Dont know if that helps my identification as an Austin though

Two experts have now said CMP so it must be right - I'll shut up in a moment.
Glif, I was reffering to the arches on the back body - there is a chap sitting on one. Noel
