and speaking of Portees.........
  these two images were given to me by a mate, from his dads estate. These were taken in the 1950s at Linton Camp during his dads CMT (Compulsory Military Training) stint. I know where the remnants of one of these beasties resides....but what a challenging project! One project at a time (yea right). Brent. NZ

Nice pics
Great images, Brent particularly the ones of the Portee... I think the 1941 (cab 12) plate may have been from one of these as the CGT and FGT bodies were made by Gottfriedson as far as I know.

green disease
Thanks for that Keith, I perhaps should withdraw my rather hasty offer of re-homing the plate......
I was talking to my wife, just today, about taking a drive in the Land Rover (1951 Ex NZ Army) this weekend....and at the end of that cruise....see whats left of the Portee... green disease.....

Long-lived
I am amazed that the 2-pdr Portee had survived in service that long! In the UK by 1944 we had sold/transferred/donated a number to New Zealand, or converted themn to [3-ton?] G/S trucks or 17-pounder tractors. Would that example have been rebuilt to a tractor?

strange attire
What got my attention, is the odd uniforms they are wearing .They look like Polish cavalry ..circa 1939 .
