Answers:

(1) don't know.
(2) There was only one Army spec. The official description includes '35 ton/60 ton' which says it all: the tractor was for both 35 ton (STECO 35 ton plant trailer and 60 ton Aust No.1 Mk1 tank transporter).
(3) See 'Mud and Dust' heavy vehicle chapter. Time you bought a copy, Dianna!
(4) No: there were two. Again, see 'Mud and Dust' for details.

I know this is dredging up the past, but I was filling pout some missing contractors on the REMLR lists after seeing an article about one of the scammel badged vehicles (although that article had a number of mistakes but I digress).

THe description of the Contractors doesn't appear to match any defined census code that I have found to date, was there one on the vehicles data plate at all??

Default Cc 6815

Hi Richard,

I have the CC listed as 6815.

You'll find it in the AMB books, Vol 6.

Read your latest with some interest.

I have to ask: where has the story of the 5 unassembled trucks, which presumably were manufactured to the Army spec, but never assembled, and then sold back to Leyland rather than through the auction process, who in turn didn't assemble them, but sold them to a civilian company to assemble them themselves, come from? Is the source reliable?

Knowing how the Army/Defence did business, it sounds just a tad implausible to me, but hey, I'm all ears!!
