Default 1942 RCAF Fordson N

Henry Ford had relatives in Cork Ireland So he built them a factory to make tractors .They were N's .Then during the war they thought Ireland might invade the UK so they moved the factory to Daganham England .where they now make the Ford Diesels .This tractor was a industrial modle but it has the hi speed gears to get off the runway when the planes were coming in .I have not seen another one that was in the airforce ground crew .I am getting a bomb trolley for it and will make some bombs out of pressure tanks for it to pull . I also have a fuel wagon for it .The women were the major ground crew and had to drive this tractor .They had to cranck it to start it . There is very few pictures of the ground crews .
