Water trailer


Recommended Posts

Due to my appalling internet speed of about 50kbs or worse I can only see the lead picture. From what I can see it looks a fairly complete item from circa 1955 and would be a nice project as it is quite a rare thing.

Body, Water Tank, 100 Gallon, Mk I (Mounted on Trailer 1/2 Ton, 2 Whld, Mk I

UHB is WO Code No.17833

Richard,  I doubt that any of those publications would be found on-line Your best bet is to visit the REME Museum, they are most likely to hold any of those.

Tim, that is superb.

Many thanks, at the moment looking I suspect I may try to save it as someone wants to take it apart

I remember those 100 gallon water trailers, every field troop in the Sappers was issued with one and it used to be towed behind the tp comd's Lightweight FFR.  Not liked as it meant that, as there was no room on the trailer (which was heavy anyway) to stow kit, everything had to be put in the back of the Lightweight - which, with two radios in as well, wasn't exactly spacious.  The Tp SSgt, meanwhile, had a 3/4 ton trailer AND the LWB Land Rover, so he was fine!  (The Recce Sgt had a Ferret, so he was OK, but usually wet through)!
