ECC Codes

ECC 132101 is described as a 3/4 ton trailer, but you clearly have a photo of a 133101 (1-1/2 ton) trailer with it.

Nitpicking aside, thanks for posting these photos.

Thnx Rob. Finger-fumble on the part of my chief clerk. I left out the 133101 line and dropped the photos into the wrong row.

Cheers,
Clive

134105 trailer, jerrican filling is interesting. It has CFRs painted on the fenders, yet it still has the British registration plate on it. It looks like it even has one of the command decals on the one fender.

I note the CFR is in the 02XXX range. I think Ihave seen this field of numbers used on other oddball vehicles purchased from other nations.

Now there are some memories. I was a young craftsman working on many of those vehicles. Back then, DND bought large batches of vehicles, many purpose built as fleet vehicles from the big 3. There were only 3 colours involved....yellow with black hood, Lincoln commercial green, and of course you could have the sedans in any colour as long as it was black. Oh, and maybe the odd ambulance in white.

Air conditioning was never in any of them, and even AM/FM radios were usually purchased by the transport canteen fund, as the cars did not come with them.

It's me nitpicking again. The entry for 125301 (M54 cargo) has a photo of a 125302 (M54 cargo w/winch). It also has that 125302 ECC painted on the bumper.

No 13 Works Company, RCE, was a static unit stationed at Griesbach Barracks.

Was the jerry can filler used for water or petrol? It would make sense that it would be a piece of Engineer equipment if it was for water. My knowledge of logistical procedure is rather limited.

The machine, ECC 134105 was for filling fuel cans. There was a problem with the machine as it had to be modified to fill US style cans as opposed to the British ones.
