Great War truck Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 For this year the North Oxfordshire and Cotswolds Area of the MVT had their annual road run to Springhill Lodge camp which is I understand an ex POW camp and then ex DP camp, followed by a visit to Northwick Park which is an ex military hospital and DP camp. Both sites were quite remarkable to see and in varying states of preservation We had about 20 vehicles on the run this year which was far easier to manage than the normal 40 to 50. The weather was great, but the heavens opened when we arrived at our lunch stop and it stopped just as we got ready to leave. The Lord moves in mysterious ways. It was a great day out. Here are some photos in no particular order. One of the DPs refused resettlement and still lived here until 1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 I think I have seen a photo of one of these before. Used for aircraft recovery? Can anybody shed some more light on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Quality images! Is the tracked farm trailer based on an aircraft recovery dolly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
