k2timbo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Bit of a long shot, does anyone know the type of RAMC wicker pannier that was supplied with the Austin K2 Ambulance? I have seen a picture on the net of the ambulance bodies being fitted and one of the workers is stood on the pannier but can I find it again!!!!! regards, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2lofty Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Never seen or heard of such a thing that was supplied with the K2Y, but very happy to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2timbo Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 I saw a post on a Great War forum about the type of pannier in ambulances (horse drawn), and having seen the photo of the production line in WW2 I assumed the practice continued. I remember talking to a K2 owner some years ago who had a list of equipment the K2 came with, leg splint etc but he seemed reluctant to pass it on.

Tony B Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Panniers, Wicker . were definitley WW2 issue. So as the amulances were normally attached to a hospital, I suppose if the hospital was moving the vehicles were used to move them. I know the full set includes a Dental Pannier.

MatchFuzee Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Not on an ambulance but some medical canvas covered wicker panniers:- https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/identifying-a-ww-ii-medical-box.256363/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2timbo Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Thanks for the imput guys, there is a good site by some airbourne chaps with lots of photos of complete panniers and the different types, my thought is it's a Field Medical pannier. If I can find the photo I'll post it. Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
