I think the situation is beyond self recovery. More likely the overload shear-pin in the winch has broken. The general purpose recovery winches of that period were not of huge capacity, many modern Land-cruisers have 7 or 8 ton winches which is probably considerably more than the poor old AEC. The CCKW GMC 6x6 only had a 4.5 ton winch. Almost certainly New Guinea. The palms are definitely coconuts not dates in the Nile Valley or elsewhere in the Middle East. I have never seen a photo of any British trucks in New Guinea. Lang Last edited by Lang; 13-03-19 at 13:28.
