REME 245 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 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.

early british ww2 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thank you for interesting info, I see this trailers was for special purpose, you know more variants? tomas 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
