Hanno, this would have had a civvy rego, probably in the MIDDLESEX COUNTY COUNCIL series, and not a WD Census Number. It would have been transferred from the War Department and there would have had to have been a paper value put on it and civvy registration document allocated.
That said note it was apparently paid for by Malta. Last edited by David_Hayward (RIP); 06-10-05 at 18:50. |

Looks like a C8 cab 12 going by the spring bumper.
![]() I believe here some of the Guy Quad Ant FATs were demobbed during the war after being used in training.

Yes. you're right! I thought there was just one spring leaf but you can see that there are two!
This C8 cannot I have decided have been a wartime demob ... GLV 16 is I have now ascertained a 1946 London rego. The 1942 C8 could have been a rebuild by GM Ltd at their Bamber Bridge works, near Preston. By late 1941 GM Ltd handled a whole range of war-weary trucks, some including obsolete types such as ex-French order GMCs [searchlight trucks particularly]. There is some evidence that these were demobbed early around 1942 and disposed of to essential users. Last edited by David_Hayward (RIP); 06-10-05 at 23:40. |
