The GMC 6x6 2.5 ton truck, nicknamed the ''Jimmy'' or ''Duece-and-a-Half'' was produced by General Motors in the United States and exported all over the world where it was in great demand.
With a powerful 6-cylinder engine and high ground clearance, the vehicle became the standard load carrier for the Allies during the Second World War. This truck served in all theatres and was particularly useful in difficult country were routes of supply were hard to negotiate.
An open-top cab version often had a ring mount for a 0.50 calibre anti-aircraft machine gun although the standard design was a canvas-topped cargo lorry used for transporting troops as often depicted in wartime films.

I was delighted to discover the owner of this wonderful old vehicle happens to be our mailman! Joe (shown above) has been delivering mail to our home for years but, up until this day, I had no idea we shared an interest in antique vehicles and that he was an owner. Joe asked if I'd like to take a ride in his vehicle, and this photograph - taken as we returned from cruising the southwest side of Springfield - tells my answer.

Redesigned in 2018 from the ground up, one of the latest Jeep Wranglers for 2021 is a plug-in electric variant dubbed the 4xe to bring the American icon up-to-speed with green energy expectations. As the proud owner of three prior Wranglers, and my current 2016 Unlimited, I enjoy the “spirit of adventure” Wranglers offer and the unequivocal go-anywhere and self-assurance they present. And now, I can partake in Jeep group activities with more planetary consciousness.

The American General Purpose 4x4 vehicle, (nicknamed “Jeep” either due to the “GP” initials or after a character “Eugene the Jeep" in the Popeye cartoons) became a familiar sight amongst all allied units. Used for a variety of purposes it was heavily modified when adapted for a wide variety of roles for Airborne use. The Jeeps were used to tow 6pdr Anti-Tank Guns, to provide a reconnaissance role, signals vehicle and to provide transport for the wounded, amongst others.
The changes were necessitated by operational needs and experience. The main modifications were in order to fit the Jeep into the Horsa Glider for transportation, changes included:
▪︎Cutting down the front bumper, footsteps and grab handles removed to allow fitting into the Horsa Glider.
▪︎Stowage of the spare wheel in front of the radiator grill to prevent shrapnel damage in the Reconnaissance version, this in turn, unfortunately caused over heating.
▪︎Addition of a pintle mounted single or twin Vickers K Machine Gun for the front passenger in the reconnaissance role.
▪︎Stowage of the rear jerry can in between the front seats, with two more added behind the seats to enable loading in a Horsa Glider.
▪︎Fitting of a 22 wireless set over the rear drivers side wheel arch and additional battery holders and reels for the signals variant.
▪︎Attachment points for stretchers for the medical version.
▪︎Removal of the windscreen.
▪︎Addition of a removable steering wheel with the horn being moved to the dashboard.
▪︎Entrenching tools removed from the sides, to allow for easy loading and unloading, with the tools relocated to the bumper.
▪︎Black-out driving light on the left front mudguard removed and the lights in the grill were replaced with smaller versions mounted on the mudguards, both main headlights were generally replaced by a single British blackout headlight.
The Airborne Jeeps were heavily used from Normandy through to the Rhine Crossing and were heavily committed during Operation Market Garden at Arnhem. Post war they continued in service until the late 1950's, seeing action in many locations such as Palestine and Suez, having been adapted to be parachute deployable from beneath the wings of the Hastings aircraft.

Utility car H14 (ex 260) It seems to be a surrealistic picture (art) and in a certain way it is not only due to the light circumstance. Some motorcars (HAWA) from an old series (250-299) turned into utility vehicles mainly as brine sprinkler to coop with harsh winter conditions on rail. Here they are parked at the depot Frans Halsstraat today a tram museum.

The Leyland Hippo 10 ton truck entered military service in 1944 and eventually proved its worth hauling supplies during the closing stages of the Allied advance across Western Europe albeit of a top speed of only 25mph !
It was the British Army’s largest truck for several years after the war and some where still in service in the 1980's. Their huge bodies have a well-type floor giving a lower loading height which was an advantage as much loading was done by hand. Steel hoops and a canvas tilt gave weather protection to the stores carried.
The initial version had an open cab with canvas tilt and fixed windscreen, while the Hippo Mk.2 had an all-steel cab. It's 27 foot length was often a handicap in the days of narrow roads but it had good cross country capability and could be fitted with snow chains. The Museum's example remains in running order and has only minor restoration.
Specifications -
▪︎Engine: Leyland 6-cylinder diesel, 100bhp
▪︎Speed: 25mph
▪︎Range: 520 miles
▪︎Gears: 5 speed + 2 auxiliary gears
▪︎Brakes: Hydraulic servo assisted
▪︎Weight: 8.8 tons
▪︎Load: 10 tons.
