Hi Les,

Well, in the end we did have some snow here during christmas......the next morning the battery of the car was dead

I don't know the company name or what they do exactly. I guess it is some sort of a scrapmetal company or blacksmith, because they have some metal fences/gates lying around, but also all sorts of scrap and woodwork. One day they had a large pressure-chamber placed on the trailer, probably for testing diving equipment or something like that. I will find out what they do, one day, because I want to take some measurements and extra pictures for modeling purposes.

Have you got any pictures of what the trailer used to look like in WW2 service? I have only found two pictures, one form Bart VanderVeen which shows the MK1 trailer (with rivits) and one very vague picture of a MK2. I do have a copy of the Operating Manual of the 50 ton Dyson trailer, which is quite similar.

Regards,

Alex
