Old Tipping Trailer with Ministry of Supply Brass Plate

[Peter Gibson]

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

I dont recognise the type if hitch? Is that original do you think?

Yes it is original. It is the same type of hitch that Farmers use.. Regards Peter

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 .
