    Here are a couple of IWM pictures to enjoy from the North Africa series: NA8602 NA17774 - Unfortunately I can't read what's on the bumper. It looks like the second D15 is called "China Boy". The MW is also a water tanker.

    Hi Jan, this looks to be a Napier.

    It appears that at least one installation survives, amazing: http://roverjoe.com/eng/_FordsonWOT2/index.html

    Is it petrol-electric? It could be a Tilling-Stevens TS19, with the body being ex-fairground...

    To answer my own poser, this is what one source says: 85HP V8 01T = 134inch WB 018T = 158in WB 95HP V8 09T = 134in WB 098T = 158in WB

    Surely a 3-tonner? I'd be the first to admit that the Ford nomenclature system is less than straightforward, but many would say this is an O98T. For example here: http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/v8-ford-lorry.htm

    The first (behind the marching troops) was an Austin and the second (in the cammo) a Ford.

    Great to hear there are plans for it - I look forward to updates on the other page.

    The one here, perchance (not that we dated it): http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?41221

    They were certainly used by US forces as loudspeaker vans.

    But it says: Trelleborgs AF302 Implement tires are metric size marked, tubeless and Load/Speed index rated, which gives a higher load capacity and higher permitted speed (40-50 kph) than previous tyres. The tyres are recommended for trailers and other agricultural Implements such as spreaders, balers, ploughs, drills etc. Robert wants to motor along and little quicker...

    And for the connoisseur, the '43 is an ex-British jeep (19 YH 26)...

    There was this advert a while back - you could make enquiries: http://milweb.net/classifieds/view_large.php?ad=80696&cat=4

    Possibly the most famous images of one of these vehicles is this one at Pegasus Bridge (IWM B5288). It would be fun to recreate this scene (albeit on the modern bridge).

    For those unaware, the towers are used to help load/unload the folding boats - the body could carry several boats but rather than loading to/unloading from the top of the pile you loaded to/unloaded from the bottom. The towers contain hand winches that raise and lower the pile of boats that you don't want to access - if that makes sense.

    A V20 has been reported as being outside Thomas Hamill & Sons Ballymena. Hopefully this works: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8386/8486098380_e1e462de91_z.jpg

    Thanks Degsy.
  22. Runflat
    How very curious - thanks.

    Interesting but how so, Richard? The Chilwell list shows this as being the contract for the 500 units L4493120-L4493619 - chassis numbers 61A5000 to 61A5499 I understand.
  24. Runflat
    Out of interest, to which contract does this relate - 294/V/3787 ?
  25. Runflat
    Bob, it sounds like the early CS8 series - see for example here: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9060
