Hi Noel
The photo of the Ford in the barge is one of a few used during the Blitz to i suppose make them more mobile around the centre of london and to help protect dockside they were placed in the type of barge used for moving cargo up and down the river and to me that would have been the restriction on movement, just up and down the river.
THE austin K6 was also fitted with the winch as seen in these PW RAF trucks, the winches served on well into the 1960s and i have seen a couple in recent years at glider clubs although not mounted on the trucks
