S/m 2681
That is a new British Ministry of Supply Demand on me! It must have been a 1943 contract, and for Australian delivery. I always hope that I will find more unknown Aussie S/M contracts, but usually they are Ford ones.

Hi Maurice
That sound very interesting, because I have never heard of the army using portees. but the army only had the 6 pdr for a short time so the portees might have been among the first trucks that where convered for the civil defence. do you have a picture of it and where it also fitted with winche? cheers

Body was the same as on pictures . with crew seats behind driver , and plenty storage room in the back , also had german WW2 style rear lights . Somewhere there is a picture of it at home, also somewhere in wheels and tracks.

Brandudrykningsvogn
Here is a link to another survivor, courtesy of Niels: http://www.beredskabsstyrelsens-biler.dk/17898849
I think this is the same example: http://www.historical-fire-engines.c...?image_id=1272 i282882364503782725._szw1280h1280_.jpg An automated translation learns this is a hose tender truck for the Danish Civil Defence forces ("Civilforsvaret", or C.F.). They were know as "Brandudrykningsvogn" or Fire emergency truck. Seating 1 driver plus 9 firefighters. The vehicles were purchased used after the war and rebuilt in Denmark by I/S Karofa, who converted 36 of them. They were in service from 1978 till 1982. cfk2.2.jpg
