Hi
Thanks all for contributing your 'five cents worth'. I am looking at the different shapes of tanks and how the rear end was finished off. There appears to be a number of ways to finish off the rear of a WWII era tanker, such as: Convex i.e. slightly domed end, for both petrol and water tankers (English tanks) Flat, again for both petrol and water tankers (Australian and US tanks) A 'hutch' i.e. an extended height or lower down area such as on the Bedford QL and Chev. CMP re-fuellers, with doors on the rear, to house pumps etc. i.e. Aviation Fuel No 'hutch' but just flat with rear doors, such as the Bedford MW water cart and OY water tanker, but with a small internal storage area for hoses etc. i.e. Water Tankers Thanks again for the illustrations and your assistance Matt |
