Default Landy Question for Mr Phoenix

Richard
I have an Army Workshop trailer, and always assumed that they were towed behind any old Landie, but that they could be linked by the trailer canvas to make the "workshop". During my last visit to Bandiana Museum (as its 15 minutes down the road, I go about once every 5-6 years), I saw a Landie with the back section the same as my trailer, a Workshop L/Rover. Was this a one off, or were there heaps of them? Tried asking one of the volunteers, which was a strange experience itself, for the heck of it I''ll give you a sample.
"Hi, this Landie...."
"See that over there, thats a Champ, did you know they can go as fast backwards as forwards?"
"Well yes I did, I own one and we drive it ......."
"Well I've never driven one, I drive a Toyota, the best.....greatest.... billion miles without a service..... trillion miles to the gallon.......(10 minutes later {Ikid you not})"
"Well how about this Humber tru....."
"Of course the 2nd best 4x4 ever made was the Dodge Weapons Carrier, Best fishing (?) truck in the world, pity we don't have any around here....(5 more minutes)"
"Well actually there is one just down the road at Bar......"
" Still the old Toyota........"
I gave up, so I'll ask my questions here instead.
Are there any photos of these trailers in use with the tow vehicle?
Any information not involving Toyotas welcome.
Rich.
