It's now gone to Holland I think.

Its got features somewhere between the VC and early WC half tons.

Longer Canadian engine.
Right hand drive.
Commonwealth pattern wheels, hubs, fuel tank dash switches plus standard civlian square instruments.
Rear body is an 8cwt (as Commonwealth pattern trucks were all 8cwt, 15cwt, or 3 ton, there was no half ton)

Made about 8000 I think, most went to Egypt, one survives in Scotland, one in Holland, and one in Australia.

I really must get round to finishing the PWA article I'm doing on Canadian stuff... 8~(
