Knowing the area it was in would have made the recovery interesting. Still has a lot of the original bits, don,t think the blitz will tow it. Well done.

An interesting find, it closely resembles the "Taskers" recovery trailer.

I have seen two wheeled recovery trailers, but not a four wheeled as here.

I note too the date is 1942, I am not sure when Taskers supplied or ended manufacture of their trailers, but I have one photo, and have evidence of one used by the BEF in France. There is a photo in S Zalogas book "Blitzkreig".


Can anyone throw any light on the Taskers trailer, I have contacted them in the UK, but they have nothing, and no archives.

George.
