Richard,
Just looked closer at that airfield photo. Interesting point is the P-40 has American markings, people look British and British truck . There is a Hurricane in the background. Late in the desert war? or have they just got a Tomahawk from US or Lend Lease stocks to assemble or is it a joint user airfield??? Lang |

I bet this poor Gefreiter wishes there was a German equivalent of REME nearby! I can commiserate with him somewhat as all the repairs I do to my CMP are done in the driveway with no cover whatsoever.
CHIMO! Derek.

Well, I guess I've kept Jefe in suspenders long enough so it's time to post the picture of the shi...I mean sand spreader I mentioned some posts ago. I've been unable to find any information on this ecletic little piece of kit anywhere and I'd appreciate any info. It appears to have an automotive differential to turn the spreader, tho' the tires are quite small as are the snow chains.
CHIMO! Derek.

Derek,
If it is not a field made unit I would suspect it is an adaptation of a fertilizer spreader made by an agricultural machinery company. The unit has hub reduction and a massive differential to do such a light job. My guess is it is a small tractor rear end that the boys have made up in the workshop - they could have built it in a day. Lang |
