  1. From what l have read the American army had adopted olive Drab by 1918
  2. You could contact the tank museum to see what B VEHICLE CONTRACT LEDGERS they hold . While you are in touch with the RLC MUSEUM ask about the contract ledgers that were in the MUSEUM OF ARMY TRANSPORT because the did hold records. As to contracts when one was issued the supply of that contract could be delivered over a number of years and over lap another contract for the same type of vehicle
  3. If l recall rightly the chummy was a bit boxy in shape with a flatish roof this more of a curved roof FORD PREFECT may be ?
  4. here is a example from a 1947 sale catalogue
  5. As far as post war vehicle sales the chassis number was not displayed in catalogues only the military registration number and park number also make and type PS you could try the RLC MUSEUM WITH just the chassis number might give you a start
  6. THIS the only one left and what a fate it has come to
  7. As said the COLE was the most common there are others from ww2 made by the US of the british one's there was also the BAGNOLD seen in photographs of LRDG vehicles . The COLE was used after ww2 by the SAS on the pink panthers
  8. The most common was the COLE MK 2 SUN COMPASS
  9. attached a small scale drawing the larger one in the design ledger is to big to copy
  10. l would suggest its a 3ton office lindsay house type body
  11. The design of the hitch is correct for this type of tipping trailer while there is little information on them l know that the royal navy did use a similar design of trailer in pre war trials They do not appear in either british or canadian data books covering ww2 .
  12. chassis numbers starting 244 had eight digits and ended with A and appear to be export LHD and would be a early 2A 88 INCH from my list of chassis numbers
  13. This is a ex RAF trailer from the series of allocated numbers 71 AU 99 TO 75 AU 16 for trailers two wheeled one ton tipper
  14. SKIP l do not know if you have contacted any one but a friend has been up to SCOTLAND to collect some thing for me and stayed in BIGGER on the way back and visited the BIGGER MUSEUM and picked up this print out
  15. SKIP what l was getting at is they may have the drawings for the coupling for the ALBION CX 24 as for it been the same as the TRMU is the ? After ball and socket its hard from the images to compare the two against each other to make a judgement
  16. Looking through information that l have it seems that the type of coupling for the trailer was a ball and socket ? . When the museum required details of the coupling for the SCAMMELL TRMU to make a replica drawings where obtained from the BRITISH COMMERICAL VEHICLE MUSEUM LEYLAND LANCS have you thought of contacting them
  17. A-M l think you will find stands for AUSTIN -MORRIS all car with in the BRITISH LEYLAND GROUP military contracts had A-M after B L
  18. The RLC MUSEUM should have your history card for 25 RA 37 YOURS was in the batch of numbers allocated to bedford MWDs 22 RA 04 TO 38 RA 99
  19. it' a while but the lock is on the left side of the turret pull the handle upwards and turn it so it holds up in the unlocked position
  20. As has been said this has been known about for over twenty years and as l said before has cost the tax payer a large amount to get to this point. There have been other case's like this and the results have been the same let off to lightly. It's time that the people who investigate this type of crime for that is what it is got their act together
  21. All the information should be held by the RLC MUSEUM as they took the records archives from the old M.A.T But how much they took l do not know the sale of items from Fort Paull shows how much they gave away and the files l have were the backup scans that l paid for in case of loss of the original items and returned to me when the TQMS retired after the museum closed. l do not know if any of the information is online
