What Is This Trailer?

[Salzburg]

This is lying on a former USAAF airbase in Northants. Looks WWII to me, any ideas?

A tank transporter!

[Salzburg]

Blimey! Doesn't seem long enough though. If it is, I wonder what its worth?

[Jerry B]

Maybe I should have added a smiley face or a LOL?

[Salzburg]

Duhhh! When I see something on an old airfield with obvious traces of original paint on it, I sometimes get carried away. Okay, so its not a tank transporter. Looks military though.

[Jerry B]

Have you got any more pics?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Looks post war in origin to me.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Adie and all, the trailer is the base for a 27.5 KVA genni. We had one with 100 Regt LAD REME in the early 80's, a bugger to tow behind a RL Bedford machinery 4 tonner. Every hill in West Germany was a challange, crawling on the up's and pushing on the down's with the inevertable brake fade!!!
