cheers graham and richard, another screamer saved then!

P.s. What screamed - gearbox or axles?

Everything :rofl::rofl::rofl:

A tipper - would this have been original fitment for military service, or a common postwar conversion?

wot o N.O.S, it is an original fitment mostly supplied to the RAF for repairing airfields, there is a small write up in the late mike connifords military vehicle pamphlet number 3 austin k6 but it does t say how many were built of this variant,

hope this helps

wot o saracenstump, great lorry, good luck with restoration i have a friend near me who has one in pristine condition ex RAF but in civvi colours if you need any help just PM me

jack, have you fixed your GMC yet, any news :eek:

i would choose the BEDFORD QL workshop at arborfield REME museum thank you :cool2:

wot o tony, the k3 is actually a k6 with gantry and winch used by the REME and i think that it was donated to the REME by the jersey govenment and now resides at arborfield REME museum, i think mr farrant could confirm this

wot o jack, i was brought up in a small village in sussex and my first memories of the word bocage is reading BATTLE magazine in the early 70s and the story D DAY DAWSON. but as to wether my family or locals used the word bocage the answer is no we used spinney (small wood, thicket ) or copse (small wood of underwood and small trees grown for periodical cutting (coppiceing )
