Richard Farrant Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 B28 on the L/H wing, is that an RAF Bomber station number ? Headlamps are very low, is that a postwar or Korea field mod ? It has Royal Army Service Corps sign on the drivers side, B28 could be a convoy number. Headlamps were lowered a few inches postwar as they were above the legal height for UK roads. Ths one might have had the lowered to due the "local" situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy66 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 On my QL there was some provision to month the right hand headlight in the lower position. On the picture you can just see the opening for the electrical lead, the mounting goals where welded up butt the re-enforcement plate is still on the inside of the corner section. Have a look at the bottom of the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Spotted this one at the weekend at Smallwood Vintage Rally. It hasn't appeared on here before by the looks of it, also it had a novel use for hosting a dartboard! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfire Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 A bad photo of our museum's QL tanker. It will be taking part in the Bay to Birdwood Run this weekend, in Adelaide South Australia, so I'll try to remember to get some better photos and some video. It is missing the large triangular funnels and the pump motor from the back, if anyone has any leads on where I can get some, that'd be great.

Radek Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hi, could you make any pictures of the Austin K3 to? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hi, could you make any pictures of the Austin K3 to? Thanks Hi Radek, That Austin is not a K3, but a K2 2 ton truck, built for the RAF to carry two generators. I know it well as about 19 years ago it was on a long road convoy run across Australia that I also participated in with a friend in his Land Rover.

Starfire Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks Richard, From what I understand, the Austin is a good truck and has been on quite a few adventures. Unlike most museums, about 90% of the vehicles at ours are operational (although you wouldn't know it from the number of breakdowns we had during the Bay to Birdwood Run this year ) I'll be at the museum on the weekend fixing a cock-up on my Saracen, and my uncle wants to come along too and play with his new DSLR camera, so I'll get some photos then.

paul_bish Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I wonder where they are off to? They look decommissioned to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Do you know where the picture was taken? That might help, a lot of stuff went to Africa from Goole.You know Paul, looking at them the look to be 'Office Body' types like yopurs. How is the Old Lady by the way?

rog8811 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 According to the comments on this page. http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/EAW023710 The location is passing Mucking on the Thames, as Mucking is north bank the ship must be inbound. The photo was taken in 1949, is it possible they are being repatriated from the continent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's OK, just working through some cooling system issues. Got a new rad cap that should sort things. Hope to be at some shows next year in the old girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 It are nice trucks, one stupid question though. What function has the steel plate under the windscreen of some vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 It are nice trucks, one stupid question though. What function has the steel plate under the windscreen of some vehicles? The plate was covered in a gas detector paint, so it was visible to the driver. Not used after the war, so often not fitted now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
