British airportable trailer for Horsa glider?

[Higgins kpt.]

Hallo,

 

have only few info about British WWII trailers (think small size),

 

only "Paras", "Airborne" for Jeep and 10cwt trailer,

 

I dont know what is on pictures? Only , maybe "Airportable, jeep trailer, by Horsa glider"

 

Think missing generator(?), for what is two petrol(?) tanks,

 

in vain looking for for fotos or more info about this type trailers,

Its a war-time or just post-war 10cwt light-weight trailer designed to carry a generater for airborne use.

 

Quite a few of these survive because post-war they were fitted with later Coventry Climax Generators which were used for many years.

 

Look on Milweb for other examples of this family for sale.

Hi Tomas , There are a whole lot of these trailers , some of which were more specialised in their intended roles than others - They were all under the broad heading of "Trailer 2whld Lightweight 10cwt" and these ranged from the standard Airborne MK1/MK2 Box type trailers through to such as the generator trailer you have the photo's of the remains of - They generally all had data plates on them usually on the front crossmember or the towbar near the handbrake to identify them with an "x" army census/registration number for wartime trailers . They were made by a whole host of manufacturers including Orme Evans , SS Cars (jaguar) etc etc and other types included a Murex Welder , Liner saw , Trailer Binned Stores , G.S. , Mortar Trailer , Workshop etc etc .

 

There are bits and bobs of details for the various types in various publications but they have never been pictured and illustrated too fully - Perhaps a reference book idea for the future ??:coffee:
