restoration project waterbowser C15A 1943

[Guy Verstrepen]

Hey guys,

I found a storage chest of water browser in a barn in the Netherlands.
The man where I found them said that he had received them from a farmer where such a water browser had probably stayed behind in the war or just after it.

Greetings Guy

Nice find! I saw it advertised and thought it looked familiar....

I will soon add more pictures of the progress of the waterbowser.
in the meantime I am working with a company to produce replica water filters.

greetings Guy.

Great find. What's that bit in your third photo? Looks like a handle that may rotate?

yes indeed it can turn around.
I think it is to keep the doors of the stores locker open.

Ah, of course! That would save many fingers.

hey guys

An update of the works here at the water bowser.
First some pictures of the 2nd skid plate that was on the gas tank.
These are now used as anti-skid plate to descend into the lubrication wells.

And further the situation up to now.

Cheers Guy
