Hi Guy's,

I found this interesting looking trailer on eBay and wondered if anybody had knowledge of what it was used for, the guys selling it say its for towing ambulance's :?

 

 

 

Mick,

 

It is a Towing Ambulance, in other words, an ambulance for sick vehicles, not specifically to tow ambulances. Used by REME with the 3ton Breakdown Gantry trucks. The front of the casualty could be lifted by the gantry. with the front axle beam on the supports and secured, then the gantry could tow the lot away. There is a photo of one in use in the book, Breakdown by Brian baxter, a history of British recovery equipment, used in RAOC and REME.
