The World War Two, British Morris Commercial C8 Field Artillery Tractor, which was more commonly known as the ''Quad'' is an artillery tractor used by the British and Commonwealth Forces, used to tow Field Artillery Pieces, such as the 25-pounder Howitzer Gun, and Anti-Tank Guns, such as the 17-pounder. The Quad saw service with many nations’ forces from 1939 right through until the late 1950's. Originally designed and produced by Guy Motors of Wolverhampton, it featured distinctive angular sloping rear bodywork and was first known as the ''Guy Quad-Ant'' due to its four-wheel drive designation, the '‘Quad’' tag soon adopted to describe all similar field tractors built by the several manufacturers.
In 1937 the War Department identified a need for a new field artillery tractor to supplement, and then replace, the Light Dragon and Morris CDSW's then in service. A specification was issued for a four-wheeled, four-wheel drive vehicle, with winch, on a short chassis. Guy Motors produced their design quite quickly using existing components, and Morris followed with theirs. It was a totally new, but conventional, design evolved from the Morris CS8 15-cwt GS truck. It included a new four-cylinder engine mounted on a subframe and not directly onto the chassis. Like the Guy, the body had a very characteristic slope sided, ''beetle back'' shape. It was all-metal and designed to facilitate Chemical Weapon Decontamination, as well as to enable a gun traversing platform to be carried on the rear roof section. In addition to 6 men, it was capable of carrying 24 complete boxed rounds of 25-pounder ammunition and at least 8 boxed anti-tank shells, together with vehicle and gun detachment equipment.
The first Morris C8 Quad was delivered in October 1939 and it then stayed in production until 1945, with two major changes to the mechanical side of the vehicle, and two independent ones to the body. The engine / chassis design was used on other Morris types, such as the C8 Morris 15-cwt truck. A long-wheelbase version was used to produce the C9B Self-Propelled Bofors Light Anti-Aircraft Tractor.
The Quad served with Field Artillery Regiments, each one had 36 Quads, 24 towed a limber and gun, and 12 towed two limbers. They were first issued in late 1939 and first saw action in France in 1940, towing 18-pounder, 18 / 25-pounder and 4.5-in Howitzers. Many were lost in the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from France and as a result some of these were taken into service by the Wehrmacht. From June 1940 they were also used to tow 3 in guns provided by the U.S.A, which were towed both with and without limbers. Quad's were used wherever the Field Artillery Regiments went, from Iceland to Malaya, primarily as a tractor for the, then new, 25-pounder gun, and also used by most of the Commonwealth and Allied Units equipped with the 25-pounder.
It was a popular vehicle although really too small for all the equipment that was carried, also underpowered when towing loaded. Moving 9 tons with a 70bhp engine was not ideal, and its speed uphill was unspectacular. Considerable use had to be made of the winch on hills and in mud. Later in the war, when the Anti-Tank Regiments were equipped with 6-pounder and 17-pounder guns, Quads were issued as tractors. Normally these guns were towed without a limber but some 17-pounders were towed with Limbers. This can only have been for the aid of the limber's brake, and a smoother tow, as the ammunition would not fit in a limber. At the end of the war the Quad stayed in British service in the same roles, seeing extensive action in the Korean War and Malaya. Many of the Commonwealth and Allied Forces took their Quads to their home countries, and were provided with more ex-British ones to fully re-equip. The Royal Netherlands Army subsequently made extensive use of theirs in the East Indies. The British rebuilt many of their Quad's in the early 1950's, extending their useful life until 1959 when the last was sold off. They were replaced by three-ton tractors, derived from the Bedford RL and Fordson Thames E4.
Variants -
▪︎Mk.I - Only 200 made in 1939 and very early 1940, front axle had provision for a locking differential, and the axle itself was mounted above the springs. The vehicle had permanent four-wheel drive and 10.50 x 20 in tyres. The accelerator pedal was mounted centrally rather than in the conventional position as the right-most pedal.
▪︎Mk.II - Approximately 4,000 made in 1940 and early 1941, it was almost identical to the Mk.I, save for a change in front axle design, which removed the provision for the locking differential.
▪︎Mk.III - Approximately 6,000 made from 1941 to 1945, the front axle was mounted below the springs, and four-wheel drive could be switched on or off as required. Tyres were 10.50 x 16 in size, and the accelerator was mounted conventionally as the right pedal.

AUSTIN WN1 ''CHAMP'' 4X4 -
Firstly identified as Truck, ¼ ton, CT (Combat Truck) 4x4; later Truck, ¼ ton, GS (General Service) 4x4 Cargo and FFR / FFW (fitted for radio / wireless). This vehicle was known as the ''Champ'' the name originally given to the WN3 civilian version which was made in very limited numbers - some were converted to the ''Firefly'' Austin Champ Fire Appliance and Light Rescue vehicles. Only two examples of the earlier WN2 models were built. In 1947, prior to the limited production run of the Wolsley ''Mudlark'', the Nuffield Organisation had experimented with a replacement for the ''Jeep'' in the form of the ''Gutty'', but only went to three prototypes. The FVDE FV1800/FV1801 vehicles (known as the ''Mudlarks'' and the ''Champs'') were designed to be a combat Truck class with high specifications.
The Champ was manufactured from 1951 under contract No. 6 VEH 5531, but some modifications were made. In time 11,700 vehicles were issued to the Army (including the Parachute Brigade) Royal Marines and later the Territorial Army. It was full air-transportable and served in Africa, Germany, Cyprus, Libya and the Suez Campaign, early vehicles were sent for troop trials at the end of the Korean War.
Military needs changed during the 1948-1955 period and resulted in the downgrading of the FV1801 from Combat Truck (CT) to General Service (GS) in 1955. The Champ was quickly overtaken by the superior and far less expensive Land Rover - at around £1,300 each, they were double the price of a Land Rover. The last Champ entered service in 1956 when some were already being sold off. Some of the design features were being incorporated in the Austin ''Gipsy'', 21,208 were built between 1958 and 1967 as a civilian replacement for the Champ and rival for the Land Rover.
This example (Chassis No. 8529 / Body No. 8330) went into Army service 22nd November 1954 (Registration 85 BE 29) was struck off 15th March 1966 and became privately owned. In 1987 it was gifted to the Imperial War Museum, and then gifted to the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum by their trustees in September 2012 following many years being stored, totally dismantled, at Duxford.

One of a batch of 60 Albion Clansman FT103N Mobile Workshop vehicles supplied to the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers (REME) from 1950, the vehicles where kitted out with a lathe, drilling machine and other workshop tools for field repairs to be carried out. For power they would have towed a generator trailer.
Not many of these vehicles remain, there are a few of them in preservation but many had been turned into commercial vehicles, with less than a handful retaining the original rear body. The Clansman was fitted with an Albion EN286, 4 cylinder diesel engine and a five speed Albion gearbox, driving both rear axles in a 6x4 configuration.
This is definitely an Albion vehicle, but the radiator grill has two ''shoulders'' and the Clansman is the nearest model I could identify it to, but in all the photos I have seen, the radiator has a level top ? any further information would be greatfully received.

This off-road vehicle was primarily produced to meet the British Army's requirement for a Gun Tractor, and was designed to tow a Field Gun (L118 Light Gun) with a ton of Ammunition and other Equipment in the rear load space, giving it the alternative name of the Land Rover ''One Tonne'' the vehicle was designed to be easily transported by air, the positioning of the 3.5 litre Rover V8 engine beneath and to the rear of the cab eliminates the bonnet at the front, making the vehicle more or less cuboid thus reducing unused space in Transport Aircraft. Of concern was the payload and limited stability, particularly when crossing an incline.
The official name of ''101 Forward Control'' is derived from the vehicle's 101 inch wheelbase, and the position of the driver, above and slightly in front of the front wheels which used a fairly large 9.00x16in tyre. To cope with the extra height above the ground, the wheels feature an unusual feature for a Land Rover (but used for many years on the much older and similar Mercedes Unimog S404) a flange around the centre of the wheel has an embossed tread pattern forming a step for the crew when entering the cab, named a 'wheel-step'.
Development of the 101 Forward Control started in 1967, with a design team led by Norman Busby (14th October 1931 to 30th June 2005). Production took place between 1972 and 1978, in common practice of the Armed Forces, many vehicles were not used for some years and it is not unheard of for Military Vehicle enthusiasts to pick up these vehicles after only a few thousand miles service. All the vehicles produced at the Land Rover factory at Lode Lane, Solihull were soft top ('rag top') General Service Gun Tractors, although later on many were rebuilt with hard-top Ambulance bodies and as Radio Communication Trucks. A rare variant is the Electronic Warfare Vampire body, it is thought that only 21 of these were produced and less than half of these survive today.
The 101 Forward Control also served with the RAF Regiment, two 101's were allocated to each Rapier Missile set up, the British RAF Rapier System used three Land Rovers in deployment, a 24V winch fitted 101 Firing Unit Tractor (FUT) to tow the Launch Trailer, loaded with four Rapier Missiles, Guidance Equipment and radio, a 12V winch fitted 101 Tracking Radar Tractor (TRT) to tow the Blindfire Radar Trailer, also loaded with four Rapier Missiles and Guidance Equipment, and a 109 Land Rover to tow a Reload Trailer with 9 Rapier Missiles and loaded with the unit's other supplies and kit.
The 101 Forward Control also served in the Ambulance role, the Ambulance bodywork was built by Marshall of Cambridge, and was manufactured in both left and right hand drive with either 12 or 24 volt electrical systems. Some 101 Forward Control's were produced with a PTO powered Nokken capstan winch mounted on the chassis at the centre of the vehicle, allowing winching from either the front or rear. Another variation on a small number of pre-production vehicles was the addition of a trailer with an axle driven from the PTO, creating a 6x6 vehicle, this adaptation was abandoned before full production when it was discovered that the trailer had a propensity to push the vehicle onto its side when driven over rough terrain.
By the late 1990's, the 101 Forward Control's were decommissioned by the MoD and were replaced with Defenders and Pinzgauer Vehicles. Many 101's have entered into private ownership and there is a thriving 'Owners Club' supporting these sourcing spares and providing technical support the club also keeps a register of known surviving vehicles throughout the world. A prototype 101 was built based on a Recovery Vehicle, but only one of these is known to be in existence, at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

The AEC Model 850, also known as the 'FWD R6T' was available in two versions, as an Artillery Tractor and a Recovery Vehicle both used by the British Army, it was in production from 1929 to 1936 and 57 units and one prototype was produced. In 1928 several truck manufacturers were asked by the British Army to develop a Six-Wheel Drive Artillery Tractor. In addition to English companies such as Guy Motors, Leyland and Scammell, the American company FWD (Four Wheel Drive Lorry Company) with a branch in Slough, was also invited. The vehicles had to be able to carry a trailer load of approximately 6 tons.
FWD came up with the R6T, which was the manufacturer's first Six- Wheel Drive Vehicle, it was equipped with a Dorman JUL six-cylinder petrol engine with side valves, a 6.6 litre engine producing 78hp. All wheels were driven via a four-speed gearbox and an additional reduction gearbox allowing them to operate in high and low ranges could be used (4F1Rx2) In 1929 the prototype was delivered to the British Army for testing. At the end of that year, the vehicle came back to the factory. FWD was given an order for nine vehicles, but some changes were necessary. In 1929 FWD and AEC entered into a partnership, components were replaced with AEC equipment. The engine was replaced by an AEC A136 with overhead valves, which had a smaller displacement of 6.1 litres, but with 95hp it had more power. The gearbox was also exchanged for a version of AEC. Adjustments to the driver's cab and superstructure were also made, the most notable being the position of two Crew members next to the engine slightly ahead of the Driver. The cabin and cargo hold were open, but could be covered with a canvas roof.
In 1932 the English branch of FWD was taken over by AEC, the type designation of the vehicles changed from R6T to AEC Model 850. A total of 24 units were built at FWD in Slough and 33 units at the AEC factory in Southall between 1932 and 1936, a total production of 57 units. At the outbreak of World War Two, a number of vehicles were sent to France between 1939-1940 with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF). Many of them were left behind during the evacuation of the BEF in May 1940. The only surviving example is this one at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, which was fully restored in 1970.

The series II and IIA are difficult to distinguish with only minor cosmetic differences the most significant mechanical change being the introduction of the new 2.25 ltr Diesel engine. They came in a wide range of body styles and on a SWB 88 inch or LWB 109 inch chassis. This being a 1970 SWB soft top model.
In 1969 (February) home market models had the head lamps moved into the wings and sill panels were redesigned to be shallower a few months later

The Land Rover was conceived by the Rover Company in 1947 during the aftermath of World War II. Maurice Wilks, Rover's chief designer came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural and utility vehicle, of a similar concept to the Willys Jeep used in the war, but with an emphasis on agricultural use. The first prototype was built on a Willys Jeep chassis and used the engine and gearbox out of a Rover P3 saloon car. The bodywork was handmade out of an aluminium/magnesium alloy called Birmabright, to save on steel, which was closely rationed.
Land Rover entered production in 1948, later to be known as the Series 1, and was launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show. It was designed for farm and light industrial use, with a steel box-section chassis and an aluminium body. Originally the Land Rover was a single model offering, which from 1948 until 1951 used an 80-inch wheel base and a 1.6-litre petrol engine producing around 50 bhp. The four-speed gearbox from the Rover P3 was used, with a new two-speed transfer box. This incorporated an unusual four-wheel-drive system, with a freewheel unit (as used on several Rover cars of the time). This disengaged the front axle from the manual transmission on the overrun, allowing a form of non- permanent 4WD. A ring-pull mechanism in the driver's footwell allowed the freewheel to be locked to provide more traditional 4WD. This was a basic vehicle: tops for the doors and a roof (canvas or metal) were optional extras. In 1950, the lights moved from a position behind the grille to protruding through the grille.
During 1950, the unusual semi-permanent 4WD system was replaced with a more conventional setup, with drive to the front axle being taken through a simple dog clutch. In 1952 and 1953, a larger 2.0-litre petrol engine was fitted. he 1954 model year brought major changes with the original 80 inch wheel base replaced with an 86 inch wheel base and a 107 inch wheelbase, pick up version introduced. September 1955 saw the introduction of a four door station wagon on the 107 wheel base chassis, with seating for up to ten people. The 86-inch station wagon was a three-door, seven-seater.
