Nice tipper Colin.

Excellent taste in selecting a Ford as well.

Is the generator bona fide WW2?

Lastly, whats the other beastie? - a bofors??

Wow Colin, How fast was the CMP going when the tyres blew?

No, with a chimney like that it has got to be a two wheeled Wiles Cooker. There are not many of those about at all let alone as intact as that one..

The "Generator" is actually a Wiles Junior Steam Cooker, a WW2-era field kitchen!

Is a 1944/45 Ford F60S Truck, tipping 2 1/2 yard No3. Nice find indeed. Looks like it's come from somewhere nice and arid and doesn't have a skerrick of rust either.
I hope you got a discount for the lack of air in the tyres!

Hi all, yes it is a wiles cooker and is complete so I better start an outdoor soup kitchen. The truck is just about rust free with all tipping mech still there but just has a very bent tail shaft. He gave me the tyres for nothing

Have to do another load today.

Colin.

Keep us posted please... also if there are any ID markings on the Ford I'll add it to the database.
