NEED SOME HELP WITH SOME VEHICLE ID
I KNOW THE LP1 AND THE VICKERS BUT WHAT MK IS THE TANK ?
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE TRAILER SETUP WITH A PRESS ?
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SEMI ?

ANY HELP WOULD BE USEFULL :salute:

Intriguing press trailer - standard or jury rig - what's the box things each side and writing on the ends?

The Vickers tank is a Mk.2A.

The truck is a captured Italian Lancia 3 RO N Mil. 6.5 ton 4x2. Without rear body.
Ahh, Vanderveen you champion.

The CMP is C60L cab 12 or 11.

The CMP answer is a total guess based on the exhaust outlet.
I'm probably wrong so I'll let the experts take over.

That carrier in the first pic isn't an LP1, it's a British made Carrier.

The boxes appear to be storage for lengths of Angle Iron. The ends of the boxes are open and the "Writing" is the ends of the sections of angle.

Hi,
that looks like a hydraulic press on the four-wheeled trailer.
Dave

Press
 

The press looks exactly the same as our 50 ton Servex press. Twin pumps, one for high speed one for maximum pressure. Manually elevated table via two wire cables and final position controlled by 4 pins.

Press Trailer
 

Thanks for the heads up Tony! Put like that I see what you mean.

GJamo - they haven't changed much for years it seems.

Press trailer
 

Thanks tony for correcting the carrier

is that press trailer a actual in service trailer or a locally made trailer by the troops using surplus parts ?

I need help with a few vehicles and pics im trying to organize my library a bit better.

1. Vixen ??
2.something russian ?
3.a concept of a leopard with anti tank missile launcher similar to fist fitted to us m113 fleet
4.the semi
5.mystery french prototype tank

The Leopard with the elevating arm looks like it was intended to raise a radar antenna above the horizon or out of concealment.

iam about 90% sure it is a anti tank missile launcher like the us army has fitted to their m113 & lavat

The russian tank is a T-35.

The truck in the pic from REMLR with the land rover (I have a larger version of this from the photographers son who gave us the pics if you want it) is a leyland if I recall.

i think its a reo not a leyland can anybody help ?

front end
 

check the trucks front hubs, spider rims, looks more yankee than pom.

MM, got me there, I was thinking Leyland Contractor, but checking a photo from bandiana, nope!!! Interesting there is a photo of a scammel on the below page with a patton tank that looks identical to the one I have of a contractor, same vehicle?

here is the larger version on REMLR

Ok, i'm told that these semi's are diamond Reos which were used in the 70's and 80's for long distance transport. and that 85 Transport Squadron based at Moorebank used them for many years.

Hi Richard,
Is that Landy in your pic SWB and FFR? Never seen an army shorty with the seat in the back.
Rich

SWB yes, FFR, perhaps (looks like 25 or 77 set handles in the shadows). Oficially a FFR it is not, but it may have had one in place for use.

here is another view of that vehicle. looks like it has a platform in place to hold a radio temporarily. probably to aid in recovering broken down vehciles as this was a workshops vehicle

As for the seats in the back, all 2a GS SWB land rovers had them fitted from the factory, and I think the Command Recon Series 2's did as well.

here is an restored example
