NomadWebbing Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hello. This forum was suggested to me, so I thought I'd ask my question here. I have recently pulled these out of a farmer's field, and wondered if anyone could shed some light on their origin. The first has six stud wheels. I thought it was Land Rover, at first, but didn't notice it wasn't five stud. The owner said he was told it came from Colchester. It's un-sprung, too.

NomadWebbing Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 This could just be a civi trailer, but it's yellow underneath. Airfield use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The channels on the army trailers are further apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadWebbing Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 It's the lack of springs which makes me doubt it. Unless they've done a very good job at removing them, at some point in its life. Also, the longitudinal members at the back make me wonder if it had a specific purpose. Gen set, for example.
