Default 17-pdr

Did the 17-pounder airportable version have electric brakes?

I know that various Morris-Commercial tractors were converted to airportable form (as discussed previously) but according to a photo I have seen in the Airborne Museum archives at least one Ford? 15-cwt was converted to airportable and trialled in a Hamilcar. I would have thought that the CMP would have been more practical but they had the MCC conversions to hand as of end of 1943 say.

I must go to Aldershot in the new year and see what I can find out about the CMP trials.
