Hi Jacques,

Superb pictures ... very interesting to look at! Thanks for posting them.

And yes you are right indeed.... it’s all down to the fit inside the body, and also the F60S has a winch to pull the Bofors out of the mire if it should become stuck!

The lockers on the side of the metal body are stowage bins for 8x 40mm Ammo boxes (4 each side) and the rear had seating for 6 x men (3 on each side) plus a rear facing seat that a ‘breaksman’ sits on to pull the rope that helps break the trailered gun. The rear also has internal stowage bins for the soldiers personal equipment and spare wheels, a central locker for a coffin for the spare barrel and other compartments for spares for the gun itself.



Unfortunately on my example none of the above exists today as it was removed by the bus company that used her after the war. And I need to re fabricate the entire set up ..... I do have the 2 x Crew lights that belong in the rear which is a start . I’m not sure how to go about making the lockers and rear seats but there are some marvellous examples on this forum
which owners have made !!
