I am not sure whether Roadless had any input on this tractor, but early in the war, the Air Ministry instructed David Brown to produce a tracked tractor for airfield use. Apparantly there was problems with the tracks causing damage at the air bases and the tractors were converted to wheeled Taskmasters. I believe this was all detailed in a history of David Brown. The tractor's original designation was TAG1. The fact that the RAF used Roadless Fordsons as well, makes me wonder about this story, but it does at least authenticate the crawler, of which about 550 were supposed to have been built.
