G506 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Nice find, 25pounder! I thought about finding one of these to tow behind the Chevrolet (when its finally finished) until I found out how much they weigh! I believe they were used to mount Maxson anti aircraft turrets, searchlights, and were used as a basis for officers cabins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 there was one for sale at west meon farm sales in april, it was very original from what i could see, even original tyres! only issue was it had been used as a dung trailer for many years so was pretty well rotten:-( don't think it sold so probably went for scrap, or it might turn up at the next auction.
