B is for Burma Jeep - The Ford GTB . . . Lazy Post

I took these years ago at Beltring Hop Farm's annual 'combat wombat' shindig, and it's been a while since I posted some proper stuff, or had a lazy post (there have been several recently!), so for those who might be interested here are my pictures, and if you want more - https://www.google.com/search?q=Ford+GTB+Utility+Burma+Jeep+WWII&tbm=isch&ved




Above are four shots (restricted to one side by it's being parked too close to the Navy fire truck behind it!) of the standard bomb crane/tractor varient.


While the above is a GS/Cargo varient, there is a rather sparse wikipedia page with a potted history of sorts here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_GTB

    Nice pictures, and one of the bomb trolley too! The Burma Jeep is a sadly neglected vehicle. One of these days I'm going to get a 3D print in 1/72 scale.

    Heehee! It was my mate from the HaT years Ken Taylor (who might be reading this!) downloading some on a Faceplant group a few months ago which led to my digging the shots out after we'd had a conversation about them EY! And there are some nice 3D models out there.
