As I have understood 50 Vickers Utility Tractors were ordered from Familleureux factory in Belgium by the Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) in Oct 1939. This was followed by a second order for 30 more vehicles in Dec 1939.
The first 20 reached Java in April 1940. Another 30 were scheduled for delivery in May 1940 but overrun by the German invasion of Belgium.
So it seems as only 20 were received by the KNIL. They were used as tractors for 47 mm M/1935 Böhler anti-tank guns made in Austria.
So my questions are: 1) Weight, engine, speed, measurements e t c. 2) What happned with the tractors captured by the Germans? Did they use them or hand them over to their allies?
Reg nr D 9947 (D=Preanger district/Bandoeng). The tractor probably serving in APLA 2 (2nd Heavy Weapons Coy) garrisoned in Tjimahi, W Java.
