1941 Austin Army Ambulance

The film is being shown again on Wednesday. There may have been more than one vehicle: one we have discussed was a K2/Y body on a 4x4 CMP chassis. There is also I gather a L-R in one shot!

He mentions a 19th October 1940 contract for 13 bodies from Mann Eggerton & Co. yet the Canadian Archives papers show that 37 were ordered from Mann Eggertons for 30-cwt vehicles, which I assume meant F30.

it always tickles me that movie, in the last shot when Van Poel is being carted off there is a 1960's landrover parked at the side of the pub.

and also never knew the germans had American sherman based tanks and half tracks

hope you bring this ambulance back from the dead Radek so good luck on your quest
