CH5582547
By golly .... CH5582547 ... that's the same F60S for sale Nigel Watson told us about in October 2002.
Hmm ... "moaning wife forces sale" .... I wonder how many old army trucks were put up for sale for that reason |

1944 Ford F60S LAAT
Hi guys, found this while doing a search on eBay. A real beauty for the right person.
Listed on auction is a 1944 Ford F60S light anti-aircraft truck complete with bins, seats etc, apparently a fairly recent release from French army stores. Look under eBay #2455049965. |

Anyway, always sorry to see an enthusiast having to sell his CMP, here's hoping CH5582547 finds a good home with "llerrib" and the domestic peace returns at "volvo4151". |

Hi Hanno,
Thanks for that link , It is indeed the same truck, and his wife was still moaning he, he, he, it never got sold on e-bay at all (long story ) and boy am I glad, not a bad motor for £4000. It was very interesting reading the thread about the markings, gave me plenty to think about, so I will try and do a bit more reasearch into its life, any help will be much appreciated. The trip to Holland is in my diary, I would really like to bring the F60 over, but time will tell.

Beautiful!
Congratulations on your purchase... good to see original mirrors and nice rubber - makes such a difference.
Interesting to see late production front fairleads. It looks like a good restoration - attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing more images sometime.

See what you can find re. its markings and we'll do our best here to clear them up. Would be great to see it over here in Holland next year. The more CMPs the merrier! Are you close to a ferry port? If so, the easiest way down here is by ferry to Hook of Holland. While you're at it, make sure to bring along Nigel Watson (on this forum as well) and Tom Bewick too. Regards, Hanno |

CH5582457 was CH5582547 originally
Sadly, it did not end well for this F60S. Fifteen years ago it was destroyed in a blaze which affected several MLU members, notably Nigel Watson and Jim Hay who was the owner of this F60S LAAT at that time. Luckily, the loss was only material...

Salvaged LAAT remains were sold off
Nigel later offered the scorched LAAT body for sale.
That was in 2013, where did it go? Quote:
