Also, the Airportable C8/AT Mk III was not liked very well. Possibly the Contract S.5728 "Gun Tractor FAT" was built to overcome the weak points of the C8/AT Mk III?

Here is a quote from Annex 'R' of the After Action Report by Commander Royal Artillery Lt.-Col. R.G. Loder-Symonds, DSO:
"The Morris 30 CWT is an unreliable and unsatisfactory tower. At present no substitute has been found which will fit in the Hamilcar. This is a most urgent requirement as continual breakdowns are experienced with these vehicles by all concerned."
Possibly this was the reason M-C was prototyping a new Airportable FAT?
