They're still out there....

[Le Prof]

Hi all,

I was pootling around the middle of France at the weekend, and came across something I've not seen in years. At a garage next to the main road wereWW2 trailers. I was not able to stop to investigate, but had a look on Google Earth later, and evidently they've been there for at least 10 years.

The pictures below are from 2021, but it appears unchanged now.

The pictures below are from 2010

To me, it seems to be a Bantam/Willys type trailer (or one of the other clones), and a British lightweight water tank mounted on a Mortar trailer chassis. I have no idea about the third trailer in the older photos.

Best Regards,

Adrian

Hi All,

I've had several requests as to the whereabouts of the above trailers. So far, I've not replied (Sorry).

As a general response, covering most of the questions asked:

I don't know if they are for sale.

It's about 900km from Calais. and about 350km from where I live.

It's a rural area, so I would guess any communication is most likely to be in French.

I may be in that area next in August.

I would rather not act as an 'Agent' to purchase them for someone else (the logistics are a bit too much for me).

No, I cannot store them for later pickup.

I have no idea what the post Brexit importation requirements are.

Considering the replies above, if you would still like to know where they are, please recontact me.

The above may seem a little negative, but it's important to be realistic about these things.

Best Regards,

Adrian
