Colin,

Thank you for the work tracking down those links.

I collect WW2 British Army generators and its not a model I have ever encountered. I can't imagine we acquired many and there are equivalent British manufactured models which would do the same job.

I doubt if they actually saw use in British Armoured Cars.

They were used in tanks along with the Tiny Tim, though the Tiny Tim seems to have been more popular.

That explains a lot as I originally assumed it to be a Tiny Tim.

Quite where it was stored if indeed they were ever used on DAC is questionable.

The tank (and presumably armoured car) version has a different setup to the one in the frame shown on the links above. No fuel tank on top, and a cover over it.

The attached diagram is from the Churchill workshop manual.

Incidentally I'll be looking for one (or more likely a Tiny Tim) to go with the tank, so if you happen to stumble across a spare of either I'd appreciate a nudge
