:-) Thanks Rangie for your contribution, along with the other five who were kind enough to have a go at identification. I know it was cobbled up for a purpose, and incidently its last job was to carry a wooden boat to the scrapyard. We have this trailer alongside a replica Empire Class C flying boat unit, and the trailer could be used after restoration to handle the unit around the workshop. Thanks once again Rangie for your help it is much apreciated. Navytrailer.

;)Look in "Trailers Forum section Steve I have posted 5 pics, hope these may help Regards Ray:kiss:

:-)Hi, can anyone identify this trailer, purpose built no plates on it, said to have been used at Blackburn Dumbarton aircraft factory during WW2. Length 13' 6" x 7' 0" wide 4- 7-50 x 16 wheels. I think the chassis is cut short and is inverted, (possibly a truck chassis). Has anyone any ideas?

:kiss: Well my first name is Linton though most people would use my second name Ray, so I'll go for that. I dwell in the Western part of Scotland and am currently trying to identify a trailer recently given to me. It is 13'-6" in length and 7'-0" wide, has 4 7-50x16 wheels and all of them steer. I think the chassis is off a lorry or truck and is set up upside down. The whole is painted grey and its tow bar is sprung at the link end. The trailer is said to be from Dumbarton Aircraft factory ex WW2 and looks like it has been made up from bits and pieces. We think it is capable of carrying 2-3 tons even in its "rusty state", it has recently been used to carry awooden boat. I know this is a bit of a technical introduction but I was educated at a Technical High School and hail from Doncaster Yorks. I very pleased to be able to use and view your magnificent site. Ray :-)
