David,

In all your Ford records, do you have lists of chassis numbers and associated contracts, for the WOT6?

i would agree bedford MW and Ford WOT but what ever i would be surpised if they did not drown, hey Richard remember what you said to us the other day re the Ford WOT if you hit a puddle it gives up so how the hell is that one going to survive. David just going back to the morris water tanker take a look at your latest article in VR and the location of the mobile laundry, the Morris is in the same place, these 200 gall tankers were part amd parcel of the unit, by the way any more pics of the laundry trailers
cheers
Les

Hi Les,

Quite correct, if a Ford V8 sniffs a puddle, it stops but these vehicles have been fully water proofed for wading. If you saw the instructions to do it, nothing is left to chance, a gungy compound, waterproof fabric, grease, bostik, were all things used in the process. I think that on the MW photo, a snorkel pipe is just visible over the cab.

One of my old colleagues from REME, used to tell me about a Bedford 28hp engine that was used in a display, running in a tank of water.
