It looks like an ex RAF trailer for airfield use only, that carried some sort of ground support equipment, .. it appears to be on very light weight wheels/tyres so it wouldn't carry much weight, ..when the drawbar is raised up it applies the parking brakes ....probably it was something like this pic I found of an airfield cargo handling trailer on similar wheels and drawbar in raised parked position ..top left of pic

Yes it is, I've have driven a few miles in it, Richard bought the QL from Ruddington sales 1974 straight from Military service
