iwm photos

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I am going to get the print and see what the Census Number is!! I could just doi with that photo at the moment. I think, from the front rad design it might just be one of the two Guy Quad Ant prototypes from late 1937, although only trialled in 1938. Looking at the caption I think that is what it is...either the diesel-engined or petrol-engined one, the former had four-wheel steering. H 385731 & 385732 supplied under V.3168. Can anyone suggest if this one has a winch or not please?

I have just checked the IWM site

..if you type in 'KID' and nothing else in the 'PHOTOGRAPH NUMBER' space on the page and then select at the drop-down box 500 images to be viewed, yyou get say 285 images. However type in 'KIDBROOKE' in the 'SUBJECT' box and then select 500 images, you get many more! !A better suggestion is typing in 'MINISTRY OF SUPPLY' in the 'SUBJECT' box, as it reveals all the Kidbrooke photos, as well as a few gems such as Carriers.

To explain, Kidbrooke was the Ministry of Supply offices at the station of the same name failry near Woolwich in South-east London. The vehicles were tested there and photographed sometimes on a village green a few miles away..you get to recognise the same location
