I don't think this version is featured in any manual so unless they were made at local level by converting other models, they do not exist.

The only kitchen trailers I have ever seen in British Army service appear in pictures of Polish troops in the UK.
They appear to have manufactured a number to fit in with previous Polish Army practice.

Someone with the Chilwell list could look up that serial number (if original) and see what ther trailer started off life as.

That number comes up as a lorry, 6x4, crane, turntable, various, ex-RAF and ex-Admiralty.......so no clues there on this trailer!

Thanks for answer,

I see, in deatail, this field kitchen trailer and its very profesional work,

this side boxes is similar to Coventry Climax trailers (generator or welder)

but chassis is diferent, think is similar to compresor trailer.

and both ovens it orig. wartime military model.

Ovens idea is similar to post war Ben Hurn mobile kitchen.

But on wieu its very, very nice and interesting trailer!

Maybe was made only few trailers in field workshop, airborne unit?

Oh, and what is it this one small scale model "Field kitchen pre-war British

army"

Think on this small model are two ovens?

Tomas
