Ben Rippingham Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hadn't realised this had been moved to here thanks for all replies everyone. The reason for me starting the thread was because i own 2 trucks. The beauty (inter m5h6) and the beast here (fwd har-1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 That's the Morris. But I like the Chevy version a lot. A lot of them ended up as breakdown trucks didn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 How can a truck with a windscreen be "sexy" ? It has to be Aeroscreens or nothing ! My vote goes to the early 15cwt Morris Commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick garner Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Used to adore the looks of my closed cab Jimmy. I think the one that would closely follow would be a Diamond T 980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hi Ben :cry: What a tragic sight! I'd like to pick out a few...........long gone offcourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You wonder why they bothered stacking them so high. A lot of effort to put them up there and even more to get them down again. I would not have thought that space was at such a premium then. Great photos though. What a tragedy. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Cubed Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Shame this is not a soft cab but at least the 352 I have is a soft cab, just need the 105mm Howitzer to go with it. R Cubed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Wot? Like this one parked outside my house? :-D That's the one Richard, although my preference is to see them with a couple of Mk1*s or Mk11s peaking over the top. Do you know IWM F4423 ? It carries 3 Div. markings. http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/1038/moriscommercial3diverpsnq6.th.jpg[/img] ImageShack has degraded the scan quite a bit. Let me know if you'd like to see a better copy.

79x100 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Was the photo taken in Belgium? Yes, it was, the Brusselsesteenweg in Erps-Kwerps (wonderful placename). According to Peter Taghon in "Mei 1940", the café "Weduwe Bogaerts" has now disappeared. Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
