Default Morris portee

Thanks for your informations!

I have a further question:

In a previous thread Shane Lovell

http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...=morris+portee

reported this document:
AWM 54: 425/116
Australian LO Report No 21 dated 14 May 1941

I asked whether Aust units would receive Morris 4 wheel drive Portees. BRA indicated that they are unsatisfactory and that British units were to be equipped with 3-ton vehicles converted for Portee, on the basis of five per troop. In view of this disappointing situation regarding Morris Tractors it is suggested that we examine also the problem of converting 3-ton vehicles for Portee purposes. Our immediate requirement is of course the refit of 1 A.Tk Regt on a 36 gun basis.

David, do you think that the Morris 4 wheel drive mentioned in this report was the C8/MG?

Thanks

Attilio
