Peter, Tristan,

Welcome! Lovely project!

Hanno and I did indeed have a look at this FAT and the second one with the restored chassis when they were still in Leo de Groot's collection. The one with the restored chassis came from the UK, from forum member Rob "rnixartillery"...I am not sure if your FAT also came from him.

A number of Cab 12 FAT's can be seen in pictures and film footage in Holland 1945. Be sure to have a look in this thread:

Peter,

" s/m v-4513 2020" is the contract number.

If you search the forum, you will find some interesting info in this thread, where Hanno links to other threads on the forum:

http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...d.php?p=271837

David Hayward has this in his files:
S/M 2020 EC011QF assembled under Contract [294/]V/4513

If you than cross reference SM2020 to the Chilwill list, you will find the Census numbers for the Chevrolets and Fords in this contract. For your Ford the original numbers on the door would be in this range:

Ford H 4541694-4542693, Tractor 4x4 Field Artillery, SM2020
