Spotted these in the National Army Museum in Waiouru, New Zealand.

Thanks Dennis,

Interesting to see a Canadian Military Pattern Chevrolet Cab 12 fitted with a Model 7A2 Field Artillery Tractor body. Very few Cab 12 FATs remain in existence: there is a Ford variant in the AWM collection in Canberra. The 7A1 and 7A2 bodywork was based on the British Morris artillery tractor body, but built in Canada by, I think, Gottfriedson.

Hi Dennis,

Great pics of the Limber and 25 pdr gun along with the artillery tractor body etc!!!

Could you tell me where you had taken these photos in "Waiouru" in New Zealand.
Is that in the North Island or South Island as I have a cousin who lives on the North Island
in Havelock North, Hawkes Bay.

I just wanted to know as I plan to take a trip out to visit her someday!…and think it could be
a interesting museum to visit!

Cheers
Ian from Glasgow, Scotland

Hi Ian, Just looked at the map the museum is on the north island and is about level with Havelock North. There is quite narrow road between the two and as we are in a rather large campervan I wouldn't take it but car would be OK probably about 70 miles. Photos were taken yesterday.

Dennis.
