According to the book (AWM 126) it was built as a General Service with winch, not as a Portee converted as was Tony's cab 12. It's in a mixed batch of Portees and GS, a couple of which were marked as Portee which was crossed out and GS WW then added, but this one was clearly marked as GS WW.

Other than that it's good buying, especially if the engine is OK, and the roof hatch looks unusually sound too.

The roller on top of the chassis should have been underneath.

Thanks for the photography and painstaking uploads Robert!

Thanks Keith, I was just thinking the roller was up to get the cable above the chassia for pulling the gun up the ramp now I have to find out how it was actually done
The cab was in a shed with the tail out for years, din't know about the engine it had not been turned over for years but at least there was no water in it.
