Hi Neil,
Although the trailer is the wartime lightweight airborne type, the gen set fitted is not the type used in WW2, that was a 5Kw 110v job. The set shown in your pic is powered by a Coventry Climax air-cooled 4 cylinder side valve. During my years working in REME workshops, we had quite a few still in use an remember overhauling one of these engines, I think they date to around the 1950's. Later on they were removed and a 6kva Onan set was fitted.
