Keith,

Many thanks for sharing your pics of WOC1'S. I now have far more images of them abandoned, destroyed and in German hands than in British service! Perhaps that in itself is telling me something.

Keep looking guys.

I'm still looking, Ian !...Stumbling around the Belgian Ceges Soma archive which is not especially user friendly.



I haven't checked the location yet. Is it Le Havre ?

Census number looks to be Z4128345 - another V3615 vehicle.

Quite a well - photographed vehicle, the BEF WOC1 ! The markings are elusive though.

Hi Rich,

More astounding pictures. I wonder if they missed any during the recovery?

Any ideas how do I go about getting copies without the good old 'copyright' logo? Interesting as this is the first photo showing a WOC with the wheel arch extensions as fitted to mine. Others show the modified recut wing version. I cannot determine why there are the two variants and there does not appear to be any logic, or a natural change during the build programme. I have photos from both contracts and at different intervals in the contract with both options? All I can think is that several 'bodyshops ' were outsourced to modify them and they were fitted at random in the build programme as available. Ian

Ian, it looks to be quite straightforward to obtain a digital image from them although prices are on application if you want more than 300dpi.

These scans are from period copies of German propaganda images so the quality of the original may not be great - but better than on-line.

If you want to order, send me a personal message and I'll try to tell you where to find the pictures. It doesn't seem to be possible to hyperlink to search results and it's always searching within a search to find anything.
