Correction
Just re-read the post.
The middle vehicle is the AEC 850 (FWD R6T) recovery version. Again a very rare beast. I know of a couple of photographs of these in service with the BEF. 1. A shot of one towing a trailer loaded with a light tank, and towing a bren carrier 2. In Steve Zalogas book "Blitzkreig", hitched to a taskers trailer, loading a light tank 3. A very poor shot of a vehicle dump in France, with one way back in the background. I can email these if you wish. Sorry about the first response, late night and old age not reacting too well. George.

Is anyone aware of a single axle variant of the recovery trailer used by or in Canada? Last weekend I spent some time 4X4ing in the bush and in additional to several 6X6s I found several different military trailers and lots of land rovers. Pictures coming soon!

The trailer I located in the bush is more similar to the four wheel trailer, in that the tongue does not hinge, and is level with the trailer deck, not rising as the two wheel trailer hitch does.
I'll have to post pictures when I remember to bring my camera in.

Thats very intersting. The carrier in the first picture is 3166 and the experimental carrier with front steering that I have is 3168. I would asume that mine was around there when that shot was done.

Colin
on the numbers game, I wouldnt be surprised if you'd owned 3167 as well
. On a more serious note, the two pictures show two different carriers and two different trailers. Are the two pictures together as a result of research, or were they taken at the same time as part of trailer trialing?

Hi Lynn, it would be a bit like joining the dots would'nt it
. Perhaps I should try and collect a 6 pack  . I reckon it's time you visited as we've plenty of room here. You don't even need to bring your own tool kit  Now here's another interesting point. Look at the second picture of the carrier getting loaded number 3160 and look closely at the idler wheel. No rubber. My experimental one has no rubber either, but mine is a different style. Now THATS very interestingColin. Last edited by colin jones; 10-09-11 at 09:28.
