ground anchors
Did the LP3A have these and where would they have been stored?

Cliff,
The 1939 drivers manual mentions 'holdfasts' and 'spikes for holdfasts'. The packing diagram shows them stowed presumably in boxes stored at the front of the rear body in the centre opening above the winch position. I'm not sure what the holdfasts consist of.

There is a photo of a ground anchor (holdfast) on Phillip's No.9 restoration thread, just posted. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=22324
The spikes were pointed hex or octagonal bar with a loop near the top to aid removal. I've seen various designs, but all have some method of removal welded near the top. There are some in the background of Phillip's image, rusted & standing up. Mike
