For all you British 10 cwt trailer enthusiasts:

 

Durrants sale on Saturday in Beccles has a rare lightweight WWII Compressor trailer for sale,

 

Lot number 319:

I believe this is another of the special lightweight trailers developed for the airborne divisions, and then in some cases retained in service and used for many years after the war. As such worth saving and an interesting project with the usual Austin 10/magneto engine.

 

Photo in the online catalogue isn't that good, but these are photos of the same style trailer taken on Ginkel Heath during 2004 Airborne commemorations:

Also, these photos are of a very good restored one (in post-war configuration) that was for sale in Uk in 2013 for £2500:
