This is an interesting thread, i bought a Fordson WOT 3 for spares this year for a carrier rebuild but its to good to break. I have decided to sell it in January as i have enogh projects on the go. it seems to be correct right down to the same wheels as shown in the instruction book i have. its missing the rear body, front bumper and steering wheel. I will post some photos in a bit ----- any one interested in a nice 1940 project ????

Default RAF Fuel Bowser

I'm so used to seeing Crossley fuel tankers in photos from early war years that I was surprised to see an unknown (to me) type in use in the UK. So what is it and were many used? Is it an impressed civi type?

It is said to be taken at RAF Catterick, most likely showing a Hurricane Mk I of 331 Sqn.
