I agree with Adrian smith gun

l have found the whole subject of the battle of the SCHELDT most interesting for personal reasons as my fathers war ended in the town of MIDELBURG thanks to a German mortar he recalled that been showered by cobles when the rounds hit the tops of the dykes. I took him back and he stood in front of tower in the center of the town and we stayed in the hotel opposite across the square

A number of International half track which remained in service after 1949 had the numbers in the series 52 YZ 46 TO 67 YZ 19 and also numbers 76 ZC 01 TO 81 ZC 12 these are recorded on the number two key cards held at the RLC MUSEUM the chassis numbers appear on these cards they ( should have a number of the ZA cards} these may have gone to the tank museum

Most of the armoured ammunition carriers came from contract TM11625 for 150 vehicles

There where three contracts for the AEC DEACON the first was contract TM12445 which was for one vehicle the prototype chassis number 0853400 registration number S89078 . The second contract was in two parts contract TM11625 . chassis numbers 08533999 to 0853/4001-149 registrations numbers S88428 to S88577 for 150 vehicles second part was for 25 vehicles chassis numbers 08534150 to 8534186 registration numbers F89079 to F89103 .The third contract VM11373 was for 210 vehicles chassis numbers 08534362 to 08534571 registration numbers S89104 to S89313 these contracts were signed on the 14-2-42

THERE was most of one at the museum of army transport it was recovered from DUNCOMBE PARK during WW2 the park was home to a number of armoured units as well as ROYAL ENGINEERS who built a number of bridges in the park. Where or what happened to it l cannot say but l have a idea

BEDFORD 15 CWT

Go to the TANK MUSEUM web site for the archives you will see how to contact them. It's some years since l was in contact with them but always found the staff most helpful

if l remember rightly JSCS was joint supply chain services which was based at ASHCHURCH which also was a central vehicle depot and held them for allocation to units sorry l forgot to reply to the other part l have not come across UK XX before but bovington may have the 419 A history card which may shed more light on it's history

the data plate only refers to repairs carried out merlin reports show detail of were it was allocated to like 211 signals squadron

lot 413 is the answer to lot 326

DUKW

This is the last for now as that part of the shed is needed to be emptied

these are more up to date well after the museum

It's some time since i posted but with the present spell of bad weather and the need to clean out the items still in the back of the workshop before it's enlarged all of the attached are things that l have been involved with in years past and kept or where given to me

l remember one it was run about by Ian Greenwood think it went back to Bovington

Besides catalogues and manuals l also have collected military models today while clearing the over spill shed out this has now seen the light of day for the first time in years the glass cabinet it five feet long x two feet wide by fifteen inches high and contains seventy plus models of ships and vehicles that were on D-DAY to be seen down to a jeep These models were commissioned by SIR PATRICK WALL MP who commanded a gun fire support vessel on D-DAY as a officer in the royal marines who in civilian life had one of the largest private model collections in the UK .It was rumoured that he had a second model of this made for LORD MOUNTBATTEN but this has never been confirmed. This now has to go and will be put into the local auction as it should be seen sorry for the poor quality of the photographs

On the lines of theory the plate states date of delivery not manufacture like a lot of armies post war some vehicles were held in war reserve so it could have been released in to service in 1952 as there was a supply shortage because of the war JAPAN sent vehicles to KOREA at the request of the American government

May be it is to do with what was going on in 1952 KOREAN WAR I950 to 1953 just may be ?

it's certainly interesting and if the four cylinder correct engine could be found the questions is how many survived still worth ago at that price

A AUTOCARRETTA with wrong engine had four wheel steering 4x4 one trialed by the british
