This would be the Bedford OXC which was fitted with the Scammell coupling and used with tankers, flat and dropside trailers, and all manner of specialist trailers.

Incidentally the QL tractor you quote, Census no. H5469698 was part of Contract no. S2796 along with H5469699, described as "Tractor, 4x4, FBE and Pontoon".
Richard,

Thank you for confirmation on QLC.

What the OXC quote was really meant to question was: what type of trailer was used? You are probably familiar with Australian FBE trailer (image below); was a similar trailer used in NW Europe, or were boats transported on "standard" flat-bed / GS?

Any ideas?

David
