British WW2 records - identifying a jeep

[roajeep]

I have a Ford-GPW project with an identifiable frame number and I am fairly sure that it came to Norway as part of British equipment immediately post-War, before the US military aid took over in the 1950's.

Unfortunately I have, so far, not been able to find it in Norwegian records.

Is there anywhere in the UK that might have a record of a jeep's WD nr and other data including transfer to a foreign country or civil register, based only upon the GPW-****** frame number ?
I'm thinking possibly The Tank Museum, IWM, Army Museum ?


Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

Hi David, the ONLY way this Jeep will be in the surviving records is if it served in the British Army into 1949 and got re-numbered. But the odds are it was left in Norway very early post war.

I can tell you for sure that the museums listed above have no records. Been there and looked!

All the individual WW2vvehicle records were destroyed many years ago.

Cheers, Ade.
