No one has made much mention of the trailer so far. The Gantry lorry was probably a Leyland Retreiver or similar, and would not take a Carrier within the body. The trailer is not the normal Cranes 7 1/2 ton recovery, normally used, as wheels are out board of the trailer, the Cranes had the two rear axles with wheels under the load bed, and it also looks like a tilt bed trailer. So, is this an Australian Carrier transporter? I was looking at a Carrier transporter trailer recently in NSW, but that only had one axle, so rules that out.

Hi Richard - the trailers Kurt used were the two wheeled Bren Gun Carrier recovery trailer of which he bought twenty three out of Army Disposals. These formed the basis of the self-tracking trailers that he built.

The trailer in pic seems to be the same as AJ recovered last year. AJ posted pics at the time.
