[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Hanno
I have recently been buying Bart's books wherever I can get them. In his Observer's Military Vehicles Directory from 1945 there is an identical photograph. It is described as a

Truck, 3 ton 4x4 Tractor (Ford Marmon/Herrington C800) V-8-cyl., 200 bhp, 4FIRx2. Modified commercial Ford (US) "Big Job", 1956 with Struver-Deutz aircraft feuller S-T. Overall length 9.90 m. Tank capacity 12,000 litres. Pump equipment (capacity)750 l/min.) behind cab. Tyres 10.00-20

The picture is on page 273.
