Here are a couple of pictures of the 15cwt from its movie days. This was from "Firing Squad" the truck was supposed to get stuck fording a river and get pulled out by a jeep. Of course it wouldn't get stuck so we had to sink a large steel plate under the nearside rear wheel so it could spin and spray water, meanwhile the other wheel was chained up with a long bar across it so it wouldn't turn. It was in the fall (November?) and the water was VERY cold- all the guys in the river were wearing wet suits under their uniforms. Second photo at the bombed out buildings tgghat were actually made of plywood and vacuum formed plastic brick/stone work. A couple of days after this was taken it all froze up- there are probably 3or 4 hundred tentpegs in the ground that we could not get out after the movie ended and the ground was frozen solid!
B.P.
