fv1609 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Robert welcome, good to hear of more Humbering activity. I think I have seen you post on MLU, in fact there seems to be more Humber (or more correctly Commer) activity over there than there is in the UK. Any pictures?

Robert Sexton Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Clive, yes it is strange that more Humber's seemed to survive in Oz rather than the UK. Everything I have read says they just rotted away,perhaps the dry climate where we are has saved them.The plate on mine says ,Commer, but they are universally called Humber's. Yes I have been posting on MLU mostly to find out about the Sankey one ton trailer and its non-conventional arrangement for connecting the trailer to the towing vehicle, the trailer is pretty much completed and the tub body for the Humber just about there. I have another project on the go a C60s "Blitz" that has to be completed for a function in a couple of months so all other work stops until that is completed. regards, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Robert thanks for the pictures, they're coming along. I've got various publications for 1 Ton Trailer I'll look up. I used have one with a Cipher Office body that I towed behind my FV1620 as that didn't have much sleeping room. I had a FV1601 that faded away although it was bought as a donor vehicle. Here is the Commer book. Unlike British Army User Handbooks that required a Servicing Schedule, this civilian publication combines both. The scan is rather poor but the lower line states FV1601 & 250 presumably the number printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
