I will try to scan the most relevant articles, will need to take the magazines out of their binders first.
Or else check out ebay, often people are offering their unwanted issues. Not expensive and well worth having an properly printed copy.

Most copies available from this mob. Many other issues at varying prices from other vendors as well.

Regards Rick.

Thanks very much Hanno and Rick. I've just emailed the seller requesting the issues you suggested Hanno. Don't worry about scanning the articles until I hear back from him.

Cheers,
Tony

Tony,

At that price you you might as well consider buying ALL W&T's with CMP articles (click to follow link).

Rick, thanks for the heads up.

Hanno

Bart took an interest in Dolly and came for a look (before my ownership) after seeing Maurice Doncker's one (Issue 43). He's signed one of the manuals that came with her. His investigation is probably where the mention in the vehicle directory comes from. I wish we knew more of what he found.

Incidentally you can see the carrier on Hanno's page in the photo. It's got a H50 box in it which is pretty well spot on for size (although there's more depth available). An H50 (2x303 ammo boxes) case doesn't make a whole lot of sense to carry there though, so it's probably meant fir something else. It's been a mystery to everyone who's owned her.

The one fitted to the lower left hand corner of the cargo body, you mean?

Interesting, but I have no clue either. Could it have come from a British truck?
