The Ford WOT 2 (War Office Trucks) was in production throughout WW2 with almost 60,000 manufactured. Most were fitted with a general service body and were used to carry stores, baggage, ammunition and occasionally heavy weapons.
The early models had open cabs with a folding windscreen and canvas tilt. Some had canvas doors while others had a metal door on a wooden frame. Van bodywork vehicles were used as wireless trucks or as fire service vans for the ARP (Air Raid Precautions). At Weybourne Camp a WOT 2 was used as the Cinema Van to transport the film reels and supplies.
The Museum's truck is shown carrying a working Godiva Coventry Climax fire pump which has been used to empty the water fire tank in the museum compound.

The DKW Munga is an off-road vehicle built by Auto Union which was a partnership between DKW, Horch, Wanderer and Audi. The new company's insignia was the now familiar 4 rings which are still used by Audi. ''Munga'' is a German acronym for ''multi-purpose universal cross-country car with all-wheel drive''.
Production took place between 1956 and 1968 when almost 50,000 vehicles were built. It's 879cc cylinder two stroke engine is remarkably effective even though it sounds like a lawn mower ! Because of its light weight and four-wheel drive it can negotiate the toughest of terrain.
In 1957 the vehicle was used by the West German Armed Forces and Border Police and other foreign military units within NATO. Around 2,000 were aquired by the Dutch Army, many of which were shipped to the UK in the late 1970's. This example was one of these vehicles and was donated to the Museum by a private owner.

This is a Yanmar utility vehicle with hydraulic dumper. It has eight drive wheels and is powered by a diesel engine. It was on consignement at Reinbold's Sales, Frankenmuth 9/08.
I just thought this looked cool- the two dump trucks approaching each other. The third one was just for fun, I guess.

Land Rover 110 Defender 4x4 Utility Vehicle
The British Land Rover, one of the most influential and much-loved British vehicles of all time, was launched in 1948 and remained in production with much the same basic specification until 1983 when the Series 3 109 inch was replaced by a new One-Ten model (110 inch wheelbase). The traditional Land Rover body shape remained but coil springs, introduced in the new Range Rover, replaced the long-lived leaf spring suspension, and the four cylinder engines were fitted with an all-synchromesh five speed gearbox. In 1984 the coil spring Ninety (with a wheelbase just short of 93 inches) fitted with a four cylinder engine was introduced. A V8-powered version appeared the following year and in 1986 a new 85bhp, 2495cc turbo-diesel engine became available, then in 1990 the Ninety and One-Ten range was renamed Defender 90, 110 and 130. Not surprisingly the new Land Rovers proved popular for Military use and UK Ministry of Defence.
Land Rover has a range of specialised Defence Vehicles including the Defender FFR (Fitted for Radio) model, a platform to provide modern Defence Forces with a flexible and highly-mobile range of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4i) roles. The vehicle combines an upgraded dual-voltage power supply and full electrical suppression with the acclaimed all-terrain performance of the Land Rover Defender. It is capable of transporting sensitive electronic equipment safely through challenging conditions in support of C4i operations, and is also effective as a carrier of electronic surveillance and electronic counter-measures technology.
To support the power demands of the latest electronic equipment, the new Defender FFR features a new electrical architecture with a dual 12v / 24v power supply, replacing the 24v system of the previous model. The total output is raised from 100 amps to 280 amps, enabling a significant increase in the amount of C4i equipment that can be operated. Two high-output 12v glass mat, air-transportable military specification batteries are fitted, giving improved engine cranking at lower temperatures. The batteries are now stowed under the rear floor, releasing extra space in rear body for equipment. All of the Defender FFR’s electrical systems are fully suppressed in accordance with the most stringent test standards (including Def Stan 59-411 Class A and Mil Std 461F) enabling C4i equipment to be installed without further suppression work.
The operational performance of the Defender FFR is further enhanced by the standardisation of a heavy duty 3500kg chassis, providing improved payload capability, and the fitment of a new 90kW 2.4-litre diesel engine which offers over 35% more torque than the previous model.
Additional improvements include a more spacious and efficient driving environment with a new ergonomic dashboard design, and a foldable forward-facing radio operator’s seat with integral headrest and 3-point safety belt for improved comfort and safety.

— Anglia Motel Veterans champion Harold Payne’s final 80th D-Day voyage pays respects to the fallen —
The organiser of a voyage to France to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day is on his final pilgrimage to pay tribute to the bravery of our armed forces. Harold Payne has taken a final coach party to Normandy to pay respects to allied forces killed in World War II. Sadly, any remaining veterans who would have accompanied him for Thursday’s anniversary have since died. The veterans' champion, who owns the Anglia Motel in Fleet Hargate, said: ''Over the past 30 years I have had the honour to take local veterans back to Normandy to pay respect to their fallen comrades''.
''Now for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, for the first and final time I will be returning without any veterans as they have now all passed away. For this, my final tribute to the bravery of all those who died for our freedom, I shall return taking with me my amphibious landing craft to the beaches where all those years ago so many lost their lives.”
To break the Nazis’ stranglehold on Europe, Allied forces launched ''Operation Overlord'' on June 6th, 1944, when thousands of British, American and Canadian troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to fight their way up – while being battered by enemy fire. The sea was reported to run red and nearly 4,000 deaths and 11,000 allied casualties were recorded by the end of that first fateful day.
The pilgrimages from Lincolnshire were launched after a former soldier had stopped at Harold’s Anglian Motel in Fleet Hargate and shared how he didn’t have the means to return to see the friends he had left behind in Arnhem and Normandy. Mr Payne plans to go into the sea in the early hours of today to lay red rose petals and poppies.
He said: ''They may be washed ashore as a reminder of the loss of so many lives''. The charity campaigner has raised funds in aid of veterans to make a pilgrimage to Normandy and visit cemeteries to lay flowers on the graves of friends. To help fund such trips there have been sponsors such as Fleet Parish Council, J Z Flowers and Turnbulls in Sleaford. He said: ''I am fortunate and immensely grateful to have received many sponsors. Many friends and colleagues have also helped to make this memorial tribute possible and I wish to truly thank them on behalf of myself and the past veterans''.

In 1942 the Ford GPA ''Seep'' was first designed to transport soldiers to and from offshore ships but it couldn't handle the force of the waves despite the front shield. Instead it was used for crossing rivers in a reconnaissance role but performed poorly on land so production ended in 1943 and survivors are now rare.
The controls are similar to those of a Jeep with the addition of two PTP levers, one for the propeller and one for the bilge pump. The rudder is connected to the steering linkage and it has an engine driven anchor capstan. The seat cushions were intended to double as life preserves.
After military service the Museum's example came from the Channel Islands were it was used for rides on the beach. It required extensive restoration and is now in working order.

The Bedford OY is an Army Truck built by Bedford for the British Armed Forces and introduced in 1939, it was based on Bedford's 'O-Series Commercial Vehicles' with a modified front end and single rear tyres. It was designed for a 3 ton payload. The OYD was a General Service Vehicle, while the OYC was a Tanker version for carrying water or petrol. These vehicles were widely used during, and after, World War Two but were later superseded by the Bedford RL.
The OX was a short-wheelbase version of the OY, designed for a 30 cwt (1.5 ton) payload, it had a semi-forward cab that resembled the 15 cwt Bedford MW. The OXD was a General Service Vehicle with a 8ft x 6ft x 2ft 3in tall body, while the OXC was designed, in association with Scammell, for use with a Semi-Trailer. In the early part of the War, the addition of an Armoured Body to the OXD gave the Bedford OXA (official designation "Lorry 30cwt Anti-Tank") these were used for Home Defence duties.

1941-1945 WILLYS MB
The U.S. Army requested a vehicle, and drove off in a ''Hero'' the Willys MB, its spirit forged by the fire of combat and honed in the heat of battle, seared its way into the hearts of warriors fighting for freedom. Fierce emotional bonds often developed between a Soldier and his ''Jeep'' 4x4. The faithful little MB earned a place in every GI's heart, in every area of combat, in every conceivable role. The tough, simple Jeep 4x4 became the GI's best friend, second only to his Rifle. One Jeep MB was even awarded a Purple Heart and sent home. General George C. Marshall, U.S Army Chief of Staff during World War Two, and later U.S. Secretary of State, described the Jeep 4x4 as ''America's greatest contribution to modern warfare'' Scripps Howard World War Two reporter Ernie Pyle once said, ''It did everything. It went everywhere. Was a faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule, and as agile as a goat. It constantly carried twice what it was designed for and still kept going''.
The Willys MB started a revolution in the use of Small Military Motor Vehicles in the U.S. Army, horses along with motorcycles, solo and side car, were rendered obsolete almost immediately. The all-purpose Willys MB was amazingly versatile, they could be fitted with .30 or .50 caliber Machine Guns for combat and were also widely modified for long-range desert patrol, snow plowing, telephone cable laying, saw milling, as fire-fighting pumpers, field ambulances, tractors and, with suitable wheels, would even run on railway tracks.
Willys MB's could be loaded into transport aircraft for rapid deployment and were also small enough to fit into the large gliders used in the D-Day Invasion of Europe, over the course of the war, customised field kits were developed for winter and desert conditions, deep-water fording and other combat needs.
Although the Willys MB was not the first four-wheel-drive vehicle, the Go Anywhere, Do Anything vehicle, but it did influenced every 4x4 built in its wake. The New York Museum of Modern Art includes a Military Jeep Brand 4x4 in its display of eight automobiles and regarded it as “one of the very few genuine expressions of machine art.”

The small crossover utility market continues to be a hot topic as sales increase from active lifestyle consumers seeking solutions that appease their utilitarian needs. With character traits based on athletic styling, inventive utility, fuel efficiency and both advanced connectivity and telematics automakers have set the bar high with vehicles such as the all-new Hyundai Kona. It drives smarter, works swankier and plays harder.
Part I :-
The American World War One FWD Model B Four-Wheel Drive Truck was produced by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company that saw widespread service both with the American and British Forces.
The FWD Model B was a cab over engine truck with permanent four wheel drive powered by a 389 cubic inch straight-four Wisconsin T-head engine that produced 36bhp at 1,800rpm, the chassis was constructed with a double ladder frame, with a short inner frame carrying the engine and driveline mounted within an outer frame that mounted the suspension and carried the cab and body. The drive was transmitted to each axle via a Cotta three-speed constant mesh gearbox through a single speed silent chain transfer case with a lockable center differential. Braking was provided through all four wheels by an external contracting band operating on a flywheel on the back of the transmission. The transfer case was equipped with two differential locks to allow the vehicle to be driven in either front or rear drive mode in the event of a driveshaft failure.
Power was distributed by shafts to front and rear live axles, steering was accomplished using FWD's patented double-Y constant velocity joints. The front wheels were mounted with significant camber to bring the tire contact patches as close as possible under the steering knuckle pivot point to reduce steering effort, resulting in a distinctive "pigeon toe" appearance. Another identifying feature was the two radius rods running from each differential to brackets on the frame near the transfer case to help keep the axles aligned. The Model B was originally provided with solid tyres on spoked or disk wheels. Many were converted to pneumatic tyres in the 1930's. Most were equipped with either a steel ammunition body or a wooden supply body, though some were fitted with a variety of specialty bodies including Air Compressor, Artillery Repair, Artillery Supply, Baggage Repair, Spare Parts, Mobile Office, Power Saw, Balloon Winch, Water Bowser, several types of Machine Shops and a Searchlight.
The Four Wheel Drive Auto Company of Clintonville, Wisconsin launched the Model B in 1912, initial production was very slow with only 18 units produced in 1913. The U.S was the first nation to show interest in the Military potential of the vehicle, with the U.S Army testing one of the earliest production vehicles. The British Army became the first Military customer on March 23rd 1915, ordering 50 units to be delivered in only 40 days. An American export agency was set up with a reception base in Liverpool and a repair depot in Islington to check and service incoming vehicles before handing them over to the Ministry of Munitions. A total of 2,925 Model B's were purchased by the British Army, 1,599 of these were used in France on the Western Front, predominantly for Heavy Haulage of Artillery, Ammunition, and Pontoon Bridge supplies.
The U.S Army first ordered the Model B in 1916, ordering 147 units for the Pancho Villa Expedition into Mexico under the command of General John Pershing. Upon entry into World War One in 1917, America ordered 30,000 Model B's as the ''Truck, Three to Five Ton, M1917'' 12,498 were delivered by the time of the Armistice, of which 9,420 went to France with the American Expeditionary Forces. Demand for the Model B was too great for the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company to meet, so the Peerless Motor Company, Kissel Motor Car Company, Premier Motor Corporation and Mitchell Motor Car Company were also engaged to build Model B's. One Model B was assembled by Premier in Indianapolis using parts from all four manufacturers to demonstrate that all parts were truly interchangeable.

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.
