N.O.S. Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 About 16 years ago that was being used at Henham as a water bowser. Guess it finally gave up the ghost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 OK tanker chaps COULD that be made to look WWII? Would the be a big deal or am I WAY OFF..... Wouldn't be the first time :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Bellamy Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Restore it and repaint it yellow and it would be what it is, a relatively rare 1950s USAF fighter-base tanker trailer. Restore it and paint it OD and mark it up Army Air Forces, I suppose the average Joe-on-the-street wouldn't know the difference... There is apparently a far nicer one sitting at the side of the road in Nevada though, along with its bigger brother the 5000-gal F-6 which was also used by the RAF in the UK for shifting Thor missile fuel.

paul_bish Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I remember this at Henham Rally, my uncle was part of the organising group (Mike Bishop) and we used to drive from Cheshire in my dads Foden. A LONG journey. this was my dads truck, sold now he has retired from driving trucks as day job and moved into vintage tractors http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2729/4259597675_fbe8a44bda_z.jpg?zz=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeePig Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Nice tanker, nice Foden! :laugh: If I had a house, I would like the trailer even without anything to tow it. I am sure someone with a tractor unit would take it out for a 'walk' sometimes! Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
