Class 50/60 Raft
In the January issue of "Military Machines International" Les Freathy produced a nice article on WW2 tailers - including one of the Class 50/60 raft trailer.
Here's some info from the Trux website: - The class 5/60 raft was only used, in NW Europe, for the Rhine crossing. The trailer was sopposed to be towed by a "Tractor 6 ton 4x4" but for the actual crossing they were towed by "Royal Artilery tractors from an AA unit" Can anyone add to this information? Noel
