Default British 15-cwt truck prototypes

Series of photos "scanned from a mag" by Peter Chowns, showing the attempts by the War Department to design a suitable 15-cwt 4x2 truck in the 1930s. Austin, Bedford, Commer, Ford, Guy, Morris-Commercial were all in the game. Not all of the prototypes would evolve into series production, but all manufacturers would be involved in the massive mechanisation programme of the W.D.
