Spent the morning helping out the Canso Boys with the Airport open house.
Nicks restored CMP!
This is Grants work in progress a CMP
Next is the prototype for the CMP. It was designed somewhere around 1937/38 then the finished style is just like Nicks.
Nicks is a good example of a finished one and very well done!
CMP is Canadian military Pattern.
Ford and GM made about 400,000 of these GM had a 216 cu in Chev 6 and the Ford had a 239 Flathead. Same exterior style,all are Left Hand Drive? Europe is RH drive.Go Figure.
The Canso is servicable and has a very Keen group of fellows keeping it going.
