Greetigns all,

I working on a couple of trucks at the moment for Pier 5`. I was thinking about showing them as RA support vehicles.

Just some general questions:

The 15cwt I was thinking of using as th Sanitary Vehicle towing a Water Bowser. Apart from shovels and picks does anyone kow what other types of stores might have been carried in this type of vehicle. I was think some cut down oil drums with holes drill into the bottom section??? :-) :-)

Any suggestions for the Load for the Bedford, obviously their is pertol and ammo. I was wondering if any of the RA Support vehicles had other more interesting functions that I might included, maps, tables and that sort of stuff. It will be a basic QL model so I don't want to go into building cabins etc.

Any thoughts or idea most welcome.

One of the trucks is a very old one I had marked with the AOS 46, unfortunately I cannot remember what unti this represents :-) :-) :-)

Cheers

Al

46 would be the third field arty regiment in a division, no?

40 is div arty HQ, 44, 45 & 46 are the three regiments supporting the three brigades.

Think I got that right.

Paul

Alan,
Hose coils, buckets, washing bowls?
What about a small water heater? (I don't know if they would have actually had the last item. I've never seen or heard of one being used)
Tom

Paul,

I thought it was 40 HQ, 42, 43, and 44 Field Regiments and 46 was the Anti - Tank Regiment.


Cheers

Greeting all,

Ah yes Anti Tank , now I remember what I originally started out to do LOL, LOL.

Tom, thanks for those thoughts, I was thinking of hooking up a Water Bowser, it's either that or turn it into a radio truck.

Many thanks guys.

Al

Derek,

My apologies. My late Father would never forgive me. He ended his army career as a WOII of a Light Air Defense Regiment. Although that was back in '77. Not sure if the AoS would still have been 47 then.

Cheers

Hi Alan,

What about a field kitchen, that would be part of the support sections.

John

You, sir, are absolutely correct. Sorry for the bad intel, Alan. I can only fall back on the fact that I answered at work, without my references. Still, 30 lashes with a wet noodle for me!

:-)

Paul

Hi guys,

Paul, No problem, I just had a mental block on what it represented.

John, possibilities.

Thanks all

Al

Hi Alan,im currently serving in the Artillery at the mo as a Arty observer,i personnaly would also put rations,expense stores ie,batteryes,rags,vehicle spares and maybe a small shop with sweets and drinks.and yes a small cookset,because the BQMS would sell things like burgers and that sort of thing.I hope that has helped you a little.

Hi Gareth,

Thanks for the input. Ration/Food Boxes are one thing I have to add. Hope to get a few decent pictures later today if the sunshines.

Be safe.

Cheers

Al
