jenkinov Posted January 9, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
