Runflat

Another example was found in France many years ago - see Wheels & Tracks #64, p.40. I've no idea what happened to it.

Isn't this the one that went to the Shuttleworth Collection?: http://www.shuttleworth.org/shuttleworth_vehicles.asp I'm fairly certain it's also the one the appeared in Windscreen December 1987.

These are Wolselys

This makes for interesting reading: http://nds.coi.gov.uk/clientmicrosite/Content/Detail.aspx?ClientId=257&NewsAreaId=2&ReleaseID=408248&SubjectId=36 I'm not going to speculate whether this 'incident' led directly to the controls we now see, but it couldn't have helped.

Steve, does the original pump that you copied from not have any casting marks that would give you a clue?

I don't know about statutory requirements but have a look at the deeds of your property - there may be some sort of covenant that restricts what you can do.

Manual says: KLG "Corundite" type FE30X (long reach); Lodge CB14; or Champion N8. Gap 0.018-in to 0.020-in

If you do a Goggle search under 'GXH433' there is a mysterious defunct link to an ebay item: 1943 AUSTIN ATV WITH CREW & HARLAND TRAILER PUMP. It looks like it was a photograph of some kind. Kinda frustrating not knowing what exactly it was - but it may only have been a picture of it in the ownersip of a previous preservationist.

Several more pictured here: http://ccmv.fotopic.net/c842985.html

Nice find! They were built during the war and used by the National Fire Service & Auxiliary Fire Service and are known as Auxiliary Towing Vehicles (ATV). Post war they went to many local fire services and were chopped around a bit. Yours looks very original. Many survive and are a classic in their own way. As their implies they towed things - normally a trailer pump. Coventry is but one manufacturer. Dennis is another. Getting all the right equipment together will be fun!

Went there about a month ago. I found the map making exhibition rather disappointing. Navigating car park is good fun though!

Here's a clip of Caine's Humber:

Possibly an additional lamp has been added so they can use it on today's roads?

Is the Berliet Foundation's example?

Marcel, does it look anything like this by any chance? :coffee:

That'll be the one mentioned here: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=14303 Out of interest, which was the 'other forum' that was able to provide the data plate? (You can PM if you don't want to reveal on here.)

Tom, these look like FIATs - the Peugeot scuttle is very distinctive with its rounded courners, wheras the ones in the clip are flat.

Having looked again, I agree they are Renaults. Nice clip. A heck of a weight they are pulling. I wonder how good their (two wheel?) brakes were!

Or are they Latils?

Very rare to see the AEC/Daimler tanker and the Foden disinfector.

Glad you're enjoying this - my late uncle gets a mention in the notes to Chapter 26.

I'm sure I've seen a paint mix published somewhere, but can't find it at the moment. But it would have been for the dirty brown/olive drab colour found on the Western Front, which may have been very different to the theatre you wish to represent. Even then it would be inaccurate for the Western Front as shades would have differed depending on what was available to use. At the end of the day, paint your T what you feel happiest using and wait for the 'experts' to tell you it's wrong and then not be able to give you proof as to why.

Tim, you may be thinking of his Vickers-Carden-Loyd light tractor or his Renault Chenillette.
