pkitson Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I am trying to substantiate the existence of a purpose built trailer for transporting the Carden-Loyd tankette. It appears to have used the bogie and spring assembly of the trailer that was towed behind the tankette (but without the track) to mount two channels on to carry the machine. Any photo's, line drawings or information would be greatly appreciated. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I am not sure if it is the one you are looking for but the Carden-Loyd Patrol Car Mk VI, which the danish arms museum owns has a small trailer it fits on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkitson Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks for the quick response gentlemen. Niels, That is the trailer I am referring to. I think I have stumbled upon the remnants of one here in Canada. I will post some photo's after it's (hopefully) successful recovery. Does anyone have any production numbers or know how often they were issued to regiments for use? thanks, Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
