Hi Vehicle Fans, This may be of interest, picture taken in Austria of me performing Field Paymaster Escort, Dated on reverse 50 Area Cash Office 10 Dec 1951. picture too big? watch this space. Worked this time!
Hi Andy, Just for you cos its Christmas, Artillery Annual Camp Sennybridge 1965, Check out the Prime Movers for the 25 pounders
Keith, what Hillman was the conversion based on? I know very little about vehicles and cannot find a match
Ooh, looks like a Fordson Thames facing the camera, possibly an ET6 or military version thereof, and the truck behind the Land Rover is a Bedford RL (4WD).
Now why couldn't you have been that excited when I sent you a picture of an armoured car from the Tank Corps ........ ?? :noidea:
Hi Andy, Another snap of one of the 25 pounders hitched and ready for deployment to ranges. I believe this is my No.4 Bombadier Jones gun, our tail end charlie If you find any info on the Taranaka, please post. Pesonality was AB John Read RN Cheers Keith PS its snowing on the screen, sunny in real life
My first thought re the ID of that truck is Commer but, if so, it's certainly one I haven't seen before (similar to some 1950s models but looks "odd").
Land Vehicles Gallery Hi Andy, I have just seen on t.v. ( Foyles War) a Humber 4 X 4 staff car, very similar to the one I was allocated for escort duties whilst in the BTA. Mr driver was quite a character, Ernst Trixell, a local sking champion. Other vehicles I was priviledged to drive about in were a Captured VW, a Captured BMW type 375, a Ford 4 X 4 staff car Humber Pulman staff car, together with quite an assortment of PSV's Autin, Ford, Hillman. The period was 1950 - 53. If you have any pictures of these types I would be grateful Cheers Keith
