British & Commonwealth prewar artillery tractors

[Leonid]

Thanks!

Hmm, 24mph (around 38 km/h) is a fairly good speed for big boy like Scammell, btw! I was reading of 16 mph before...

The overall length must have been fifty or more feet and the engine was a 112 horse power diesel with a top speed of 16 miles per hour http://www.beardsofessex.com/gordonb...%20soldier.htm

Author says of Scammell tank-transporter though...

Here is a photo of the Leyland Bull Terrier 6x4 artillery tractor designed to tow the 3" anti aircraft gun, i have some where a photo of one towing a 3.7 AA gun, now that would make a 3 tonner grunt

Yes, I've read these trucks were fitted with five-ton winch but 3.7 inch AA gun weighed more than 9 tons so it really was a hard job! However Leyland Bull Terrier and some other trucks like it could tow 6 inch howitzer (4.4 ton) and 60 pdr gun (5.4 ton), IMHO. Or I'm wrong?
