Default Airlanding tractors,

My understanding, D-day amd Market garden the Morris C8 (most likely the modified Portee versions) was the tractor used for the 17 pounders, while Varsity 6th airborne used Dodge WC. (from "Go to it: a history of 6th Airborne division")

could this be immediately post war? They were given 25 pounders in palestine, and perhaps used them in Indonesia?

Mike, i saw two very sad looking C8s when picking up my Tilly, where are the other ones?
