Pete Ashby Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Keith I think that it's a Willys MB produced towards the end of March 1944 on contract W-303-ORD-5792 US reg numbers for March 1944 are 20488769 to 20497789 inclusive Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanno Now Now my cloggie chum..... I'm just demonstrating that I'm a fully rounded person. Anyway fear not Old Bean, there's a C30 12 cab LAA and a Dodge D15 tanker waiting their turn in the workshop so my CMP interests are alive and strong. Who knows the current J thing may well appear in Canadian markings :cool2: Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember what our dear friend McStolly used to say about jeeps :yawn:, so a jeep in Canadian markings is only a meagre consolation, my dearest British friend :-D. A C30 is a very good step back up to the plate to where you were :thumbsup: H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I read "5907 B"... The steering wheel is bent in a way I have seen from wrecked vehicles where the driver behind the wheel has bent it backward. That crash must have been a messy one...

Morris C8 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 One more original ww2 photo from my collection. jeep on the outside . Any one know what the letter T stands for on the tail of the glider and this glider has a name on it. think the photos were taken in Son Holland ? There are 2 gliders or whats left of them.

Locolines Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The T on the fin may be group markings similar to what you see on the B-17s B24-s etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
