Peter Gibson Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I own an old tipping trailer with a brass Ministry of Supply W.V.3 brass plate on it. The vehicle number is 72 AU 87 and there is also a repair noted: S. REPAIR 5/54 . It also has a M.T.R.S. number B365 and an inspection circle with WV3 (on top) and 110 (below). Would anyone know what it could have been used for? Many thanks. Peter Gibson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Gibson Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Yes it is original. It is the same type of hitch that Farmers use.. Regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 The design of the hitch is correct for this type of tipping trailer while there is little information on them l know that the royal navy did use a similar design of trailer in pre war trials They do not appear in either british or canadian data books covering ww2 .
