the middle (2nd) vehicle (seems to be a more armoured version of the pick-up type) |

the "class" its listed under is wrong..in spite of its looks, it isnt an armoured vehicle..the back merely acts as a crew cab as its the towing vehicle for the British 25 pound field gun and limber..the sloping back originally was intended to carry the large traversing ring for the 25 pound gun..but the ring was more often than not carried slung under the guns chassis...the rear body is ply/alloy construction with no armoured protection..the windows in the side door indicate the vehicle to be a Mark III version of which over 6,000 were built up to 1944..from 1944 the body was changed from a sloping back to a square profile 4 door version...official designation was Tractor, 4x4,Field artillery, Morris Commercial C8..so perhaps it should be listed as a tractor, rather than as an armoured vehicle? |

By tractor you mean with the semi-trailer tractors? Or just as heavy/medium truck? Or as light/medium vehicle in the Offroad/SUV category like some small Dodge WC & Jeep ? -- Last edit: 2007-11-29 17:35:45 |

in this case "tractor", in ww2 British terminoligy, is something used to haul a specific piece of field artillery..hence title "Field Artillery Tractor", although its not a tractor in the farming or semi trailer/tractor way..could list it as a heavy/medium truck, as the AEC Matador is also a "field artillery tractor", but its probably listed on imcdb as a heavy/med truck of some sort. -- Last edit: 2008-01-18 04:50:30 |
