  1. ive been trying to find a pair of ww2 RAF overalls/workgear that maybe groundcrew/mechanics may have worn as I'm taking my 900gal bowser to a 40s weekend & thought I shud be dressed accordingly,ive searched lots of sites etc but nothing has turned up yet that matches the type of thing ive seen in old airfield photos etc,any help in the right direction appreciated.

  2. Hello saw your post re the trailers,my farming neighbour has what I think is one of these types of trailers,he no longer uses it & I posted some pics of it on here sometime ago to see if someone wants it as I think he will end up scrapping it which would be a shame if you would like me to get some pics of it then let me know regards Andrew (stuntman)north yorks 07709 927324

  3. 012.jpg Brockhouse trailer chassis for sale,currently dismantled ready to restore (which makes transporting easier)chassis requires some welding at rear otherwise sound,can supply useable 10.5x13 tyres,lots of pictures available to help with reassembly,i know the wearabouts of a possible 450gal tank to complete it,new project forces reluctant sale,open to sensible offers..Andrew 07709 927324 north yorks.

  4. Hi Guys any idea what this trailer would of looked like ?

    I think the data plate reads.

     

    TRAILER 2 Wheeled ?? ?? 22 KW

    GENERATOR SET No1 ???

    T.O.A. CON No T640

     

    There was a trailer the same as this on a farm were I was a student in 1987,didnt realise what it was back then but thought it was ex military,seeing your pictures brings it all back,it had a strange tank mounted on it which was tapered to floor,it was quite large & would prob hold water to fill the sprayer,i thought it must have been somesort of MOD water carrying trailer but having seen your pics I now know what it once was,the tank was removed & scrapped whilst I was working there,the trailer was kept,mite have a ride over & see if they've still got it.They also had,which I now know to be a brockhouse ex bowser chassis as a straw trailer which was called "bomber trailer",once I got the trailer bug a couple of years back I asked a retired employee of the farm if they still had it as I wanted it but he said I was a year too late as they burnt it (inc tyres) then scrapped it..wot a waste!!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]122133[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]122132[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]122134[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]122135[/ATTACH] This is a trailer I saw in woods,which during the war were used for bomb storage so it got me wondering if it dates from then,the drawbars seized its paintwork looks similar to that ive seen on my own trailers,it has some numbers painted on it,the tyres are solid rubber not sure about the white rims though..any ideas ?

    Is it worth saving & what was it used for??

    1st outing for the bellamy at our local vintage clubs show,attracted quite a lot of interest as we don't see too many of these up our way nowadays.

  11. 004.jpgJust thought id post a picture of a trailer my farming neighbour has,was looking at a fairground related magazine in the newsagents & saw a picture of this trailer being towed by an old foden type lorry,the paragraph said it was an ex military "platform"trailer whatever that refers to? anyway it may be for sale if its of any interest as its only being used for keeping poles off the ground nowadays...
  12. Hi I have seen what i think is an old Brock house 4 wheel trailer on springs but the photos only show it as having front brake hubs the rear axle has no brake hubs the axles and chassie all look original it is a flat bed but might of had a tanker on it at some stage. is this normal or has some one taken them off.

     

    Thanks:)

     

    Was that the trailer on ebay nr spalding? i had a look at it,out of interest,it looked quite high up on its springs think they were mounted above the axles instead of below..assume you've got it to go behind the hippo?
