Could this be a generator from a workshop truck.

Hi Neil,

Judging by the Eau-de-Nil paint, it looks like it was in a workshop truck. I was not aware that it was a Meadows engine, thought they could have been Coventry Climax, but that was only an assumption. According to the 1951 War Office book, REME Vol 2 - Technical, the Type X machinery truck on 3 ton 4x4 chassis, had a 5kw gen set, but it also shows that 9kw sets were mounted in 15cwt 4x2 trucks.
