    FAO Richard Tarrant, Dear Richard, Earlier this year you very kindly provided data for the SMT 2 trailer. I wondered if you might assist on the following: FV3621(A), Trailer, 20 - ton, 8 TW/2L, low loading. (see attached Serial 1 second item) I am particularly interested in being able to establish the year of manufacture/entry into service from the plates on the Tasker trailer. Thanking you in anticipation, Mick (micknorton1944@gmail.com)

    Richard, Thanks for your effort and the data sent. Amazing that this material is still accessible. Was the archived material under the auspices of HMVF or do you have alternative source? Once again thanks, I am a newcomer to this site and mightily impressed, thus far. Mick

    Scammell used on Operation Crown in Thailand 1966. Rickety old bridge built by the Japanese WW2. Cat D8H dozer would come off the trailer and cross the padi under its own steam. Arse going sixpence half a crown!

    Richard/Wally, These are the trailers I referred to. Used by the RAF's Airfield Construction Branch (ACB) in the 1950s. Mick

    What does the SMT signify in the naming of a trailer model? The trailers were used by the RAF's Airfield Construction Branch (ACB) to carry items of plant.
