N.O.S. Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Well it looks like a civvy spec 6x4 TM, so would be a bit of an oddball for the British army, and the crane might be a Grove (characteristic hydraulic arm with cable hook block). There were quite a few of these ex military (NATO maybe?) Grove cranes for sale a few years back, both new s/h and reconditioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I agree it looks like a 6x4 TM with a army trails number 10 WA 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 The WA plate denotes it as a Manufacturers trials vehicle. I guess nothing came of it, but with that crane it might have had a special use intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chambers101 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 It's from the early days of the BVT/Twickenham off roaders group and is probably the only truck i don't remember. They're are a couple of pictures of it picking up some vehicles at the Tank Museum and taking them to an old Beltring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
