Pete Ashby Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Interesting, a little difficult to see clearly but I think the 3 ton 6x4 may be an AEC, pictures of these trucks in service are not common. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisgrove Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Great to see a fleet of Hydra Burners in use!! Alec. Those burners, those dixies, and also the hayboxes which are not shown, were still in use with the British Army into the 1960s! I used to bamboozle people by asking what the loops on the hayboxes were for; the answer was to attach them to a pack saddle on a mule!
