ECC Codes

[servicepub (RIP)]

As if I didn't have enough maintenance to do on RamTank.ca after Eric Booth and Frank v R sent me a CD of photos and data, I came across several hundred DND photos of soft-skins between 1956-1996.
These are ordered by ECC (Equipment Configuration Code) so I have set up a new section on the website. Although only a few dozen photos have been uploaded to date, I will scan and post a photo for each line (about 800).
As always, feel free to e-mail me photos of ANY vehicle (soft-skin or AFV) that shows a CFR and I will eventually upload it.

ECC 132101 is described as a 3/4 ton trailer, but you clearly have a photo of a 133101 (1-1/2 ton) trailer with it.

Nitpicking aside, thanks for posting these photos.

Thnx Rob. Finger-fumble on the part of my chief clerk. I left out the 133101 line and dropped the photos into the wrong row.

Cheers,

134105 trailer, jerrican filling is interesting. It has CFRs painted on the fenders, yet it still has the British registration plate on it. It looks like it even has one of the command decals on the one fender.

I note the CFR is in the 02XXX range. I think Ihave seen this field of numbers used on other oddball vehicles purchased from other nations.

No 13 Works Company, RCE, was a static unit stationed at Griesbach Barracks.

Was the jerry can filler used for water or petrol? It would make sense that it would be a piece of Engineer equipment if it was for water. My knowledge of logistical procedure is rather limited.

Cheers,
