    Hi John, I have seen folders of drawings like this before at autojumbles, not of military vehicles though, and they were for coachbuilders / bodybuilders to use to design their work and give them measurements to go by. The only ones I have is for a Fordson WOT6 GS body and that is a copy.

    Hi Radek, They are not listed with model numbers ( except K2 ambulance). I have looked through and there are only two Army contracts for a 30cwt 4x2, which has to be K30, that is Contract no. V3729 for approx. 1,000 vehicles, and Contact no. V3903 for 600 vehicles.

    John, That was Adrian. Please pass on my regards if you see him. Richard

    Agreed Mike, just making the point about what its original role was. The 2 ton bridge plate is probably part of the deception of its disguise to look like a light covered truck.

    Tony, I can see you have not had much to do with leather oil seals, they have to be soaked in the oil that the will be used with, before fitting. Any wax used would stop the oil soaking in, this is what stops them from burning when in use, for instance in a hub seal situation where oil level may not cover all the seal whilst stationary. This has been the procedure since time began.

    Smilies on the right, Well, a Beaverette was based on a Standard 14hp chassis, with a 4 cyl 45bhp engine and weighing in at 2 tons, ... I feel sure my M20 of 12bhp could run rings around it.

    So, he is a frogman in a training tank and (a) is practicing underwater demolition or (b), considering the waterlevel in the tank, could be working in a airlock?

    You mean to say he is not a diver?

    AA Command carried on until 1955, .......that would match in with a L/R Series 1.

    Mike, The census number puts it as an Armoured Personnel & Demolition version. There was a different contract for the Wireless Armoured Command type.

    Hi John, Peter now lives in Normandy, I bumped into him over there this year at the D-Day commemeration. On one of my visits to your country, I met up with a MV owner from up your way, he was a farmer at Wee Waa.......his name has slipped my mind at the moment.

    unfouling the propellors (or screws) of landing crafts

    Motorcycles trying to keep up with a Beaverette on a hill ???? No, they are overtaking the convoy. The weight added to a normal car chassis of the period would certainly curtail any performance it might have had.

    Ok we have established REME display, and not welding or recovery, next guess is a demo carrying out repairs underwater in a tank.
