Highland_laddie Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Always looking to fill gaps in my knowledge. There is a trailer adverstised on Milweb as RAF Taskers Aircraft Recovery Trailer didn't mean much to me so I did a bit of googling. Only real links I could find were to Taskers producing the Queen Mary Trailer in WWII, but the add says this is a Post War trailer, is this just a late version of a Queen Mary (the name does at least ring some bells), or did Taskers manufacturer a newer version after the war. Sadly for the seller I'm not looking to buy, although combined with an example of the same type of Bedford in the pictures I think it would make a great exhibit for shows. It would be nice tolerant more around this company and the trailers. Cheers, Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1950 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I think Taskers is now Andover Trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braillescaledave Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 It is indeed a postwar version of the classic Queen Mary- nicknamed a Queen Elizabeth, and normally seen behind the Leyland Mastiff. Other tractors were available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
