Are there any of those armoured cats still around?

Those are British armoured D7s with 1T serials. There is one complete survivor with another in parts that I am aware of, both in the UK.

There are only six people in Australia that know less about dozers than I do. But! The crawler in photo 7 is a Cletrac 7 ton high speed airfield tractor as built for the USAAF. These are quite a unique vehicle with rubber tracks and a number of accessories such as a compressor to supply high and low pressure pneumatics, an auxiliary generator to power the aircraft and/or run hand tools and a 10,000LB Garwood pto winch. They were powered by a Hercules WXLC3 404 Cu Inch engine and were capable of around 22 MPH.

This one is an RCAF tractor. I believe circa 1947.

Thanks for the ID Les. I like the use of the 'dozer in pushing the Bailey bridge into place as well as the one towing the Porpoise.
