Degsy Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Parking on the pavement apparently not a problem:D also interesting to see how the factory/warehouse has been extended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I think it is from the PEARSONS of LIVERPOOL book - they were assemblers of CKD MVs and generated a vast quantity of valuable surplus timber sheet material from all those packing crates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yep - page 44 of AFTER THE WAR WAS WON. A convoy waiting to be delivered from near the factory in May 1942. The building is Windsor Sugar Mills on Oliver Street :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 According to the caption, it as a DT980 5th wheel tractor - all the vehicles being Canadian orders and about to be delivered by Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps staff (there is another pic with the drivers posing). Me? I'm not so sure….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosrec Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Dont think its DT 980 going by hump in front bumper front wings and louvres in bonnet panels. Reason i asked did the British army ever use the White Corbit as a 5th wheel tractor or were the trucks built up there for distribution among other forces looks like i posted same time as you you have answered my question Edited March 22, 2014 by cosrec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Pretty sure it's a Federal 604, supplied under Lend Lease for UK and Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
