REME 245 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I seem to remember some years ago someone posting the contract details for the conversion of Austin K2 ATV into Naafi Wagons post war for Civil Defence purposes. I thought it was Wally but he says know. Does anyone remember this post or know another source for this information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Hi Ted, I think 2nd one down on right is a Fordson Thames, there were quite a few of these in the post-war Civil Defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted angus Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Hi Richard, the post 1948 AFS didnt use the fordson, although the CD corp did. The reg on the vehicle in question is GGX 445 Which was originally an Austin ATV. Regards TED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ted, thanks for the correction, it was the body shape that I thought was similar to the Fordsons used by CD. I recollect getting in one around 1961 which had a teleprinter or similar in it.
