No Signals Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Here are some MWs playing "bit parts" in photos of Manx Regiment bods. They're a bit small because I've cropped them fom larger prints. What suggestions as to the body type on the one in the top two pics?

Ivor Ramsden Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) It's got a sand channel fixed to the side but judging by the lack of visible bodywork and the separate mudguard, I think it's a water tanker.

Carruthers Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 yeah that big mudguard looks like a tanker and i thought it was sand channel too. You'd think the spare wheel carrier etc would be visible as it's mounted right up on that side.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcspool Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 This is the elusive MWV GS van, isn't it? Note the fixed body sides and permanently fitted canvas. Also note the body is slightly longer at the rear. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Another MW left behind in France in 1940 (John, note it has a name on the bumper!): And a second one which was left behind in France, captured intact, and taken into service by the Wehrmacht: Pics are from eBay auctions.

Louis Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hya, Are there any photo's of these MWV's from the rear..?? Wondering if these MWV's had a towing hook and if so how did it look... Was the chassis longer or didnt the body need any support for the last few inches..?? Cheers, Louis This is the elusive MWV GS van, isn't it?

rampant rivet Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm sure the one at the rear is mine and it looks like Johns in front :-D what a coincidence !!!!!! now we know they are both real survivors :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hi John, If you look on the map of France then Cherbourgh is the closest harbour. And as we know the Germans came from the North/East wich did cut of other harbours. So i would say its Cherbourgh. Cheers, Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Hi John, If they did make 1000 a week then 2000 is 2 weeks work... I think 1000 a month is more acurat. That would make it august then......;-) Cheers, Louis Edited December 20, 2013 by Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It seems to be that the aeroscreens have out numberd the later MW's.....:-D This is September 1944 Valkenswaard De Markt. Cheers, Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Some pictures of the elusive MWT, the rear lights are nice and clear in the picture, anyone got one? [ATTACH=CONFIG]86495[/ATTACH] I see this MWT is fitted with a proper tow hook on a spring, I guess this proves a better fitting than the standard device on the MW when having to tow a gun, eh?
