Roland Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 6x6 wrote: A very interesting video, thanks Roland. It would be nice to see a few photographs of the AEC on the Militant thread sometime. Are you able to find spare parts, if needed, for the Militant in Germany ? So many were based there, are there any left in Germany in ex.military surplus yards ? Cheers. Our (Fliegerhorstmuseum Leipheim - Airbase museum) Militant is the last remain AEC Mk.1 in Germany. No other around! Ex. military surplus yards are only with US-MV´s here . British vehicles were bought by belgium and netherlands dealers. Germans never had much interests with british MV,s. (because the steering-wheel is at the wrong side ;-) ) Spares we search and get in UK if available. Since 1994 we own the Militant. A stuck fuelpipe and a brocken aircompressor were the only major failures in that time. It´s a really workhorse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Militant is a real favourite of mine and a wonderful lorry out on the road. Let me know if you ever have problems finding spares. Looking forward to seeing a few 'photos of this A.E.C. on the Militant thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Didn't airfeild caravans have a Commer Karrier or something in bettween? At college the pig man Pete Mountain was ex RAF and had driven them regularly, what he could do with a trailer made the rest of us jealous.

AndyFowler Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Am I right in thinking that they recently closed for business stating one reason as the price of steel !

REME 245 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I would immagine due to the number used that a number of manufacturers probably made them. They were used a lot for transporting/recovering Bren Carriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Ministry of Supply's "Data book of Wheeled Vehicles" only lists Cranes as the manufacturer. There are surprisingly few of these on the rally scene considering that they are the standard WW2 trailer used by Light Aid Detachments. Would look great behind behind an Austin K6 gantry!
