What WOT?

Which Fordson WOT is this please? Note the rhino badge! I can't recall which Armoured Division that represented. :doh:

David,

I think they are Bedford MW's. See the picture of the wreck below to compare the inside of the cowl.

Mw?

That makes a whole lot of sense to me..it was taken at General Motors Limited at their wartime repair works near Preston: see VINTAGE ROADSCENE issue 123/124..123 out shortly!

Hi David,

They could be either the WOT3 30cwt 4x2....or WOT1 3 ton 6x4. I would guess at WOT3 as most WOT1 vehicles were used by RAF.

Wot3

Again makes sense, thanks! The adjacent vehicles are much more interesting: see the photo in due course. All obsolete stuff. Which Armoured Division used the Rhino badge please?

Sorry David, forgot about the div sign. The Rhino represented 1st Armoured Division.
