STUNTMAN Posted January 9, 2022 Author Posted January 9, 2022 No I recovered it from a field near Thirsk,I had 2 restored trolleys at newby tractorfest (if that's what Ur referring to) the last time it was on (2019) along with my fordson industrial tractor Quote
jenkinov Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 I was at Newby hall tractor fest ... But had seen a trailer on the Newby estate farm which I did not recognise at the time and thought it might be this one ... You seem to have a very good eye for finding old military trailers Jenkinov Quote

A real find Jenkinov Also used for Upkeep. Contrary to common belief the 8000lb and 12000lb Cookies were a larger diameter than the 4000lb and not just 4000lb units bolted together as can be seen in this photo. 1 Quote

Presumably these trolleys belonged to 617 Squadron who used the KC Squadron code in the later part of the war 1 Quote
