Default IDs please 2?

I have forgotten what the vehicles are on the right! They are being rebuilt in November 1941. Large file!

Default What WOT?

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

David,

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

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.

Default 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.
