Tony B Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 There was one at Headcorn for years, any idea what happned to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillS Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 More likely to be a command rather than a REME version as willyslanks notes. The two REME repair versions were both post war conversions I think, and the design of the superstructure of both was different from that in the photo. The h/t in front looks as though it has either a 1st or 2nd Army Formation sign which adds weight to it being a command vehicle. There's a REME half track with jib in the REME museum collection at Borden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
