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.

Midway through the 1936 model year, the cabs on Chevrolet trucks underwent a design change. Trucks produced during the first half of the model year were built with a square cab design popular in truck lines for over a decade. At mid-year, Chevrolet began building a more rounded cab body reflective of automotive styling trends in the mid-30s, along with the styling of many competitors trucks. The more squared cabs became known as "high cabs" while the more rounded cabs were known as "low cabs."

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.

1952 GMC Pickup, 9300 model which is the 1/2 Ton Series Designation used for GMCs in Canada. GMC, formerly the General Motors Truck Company, or the GMC Truck & Coach Division (of General Motors Corporation), is a division of the American automobile manufacturer General Motors (GM) that primarily focuses on trucks and utility vehicles. GMC currently makes SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and light-duty trucks, catered to a premium-based market. In the past, GMC also produced fire trucks, ambulances, heavy-duty trucks, military vehicles, motorhomes, transit buses, and medium duty trucks.
Pickup trucks are interesting vehicles. They are thought up to bring utility to the table for workers, and that’s still true today. Although they’re no longer reserved for farmers and hauling building materials today, the trend of the truck becoming the ‘every mans’ vehicle really did begin in the 1950s. Another thing that happened in the mid-1950s was every vehicle becoming a lot more stylish, and the Americana love of the automobile got stronger than ever before. Back around the mid-1950s, the pickup started to gain more style and creature comforts, attracting a larger customer base - they were no longer just dedicated workhorses.
While the United States had the GMC 3100, Canada got a nearly identical variant of the truck in the form of a 9300 GMC. This particular example is an outstanding original representative of this line of GMC trucks. And when we say original, we mean original truck.

I had gone to Downtown Palm Harbor that Morning to get a Haircut and was surprised to see the Carnival had been set up on several streets on several city blocks in Palm Harbor.
I normally park on the Florida Avenue very close to the Barber Shop (between 12th & 11th Streets), however I had to park two blocks away because the carnival completely occupied the street in front of the Barber Shop & for several blocks around it. Luckily, I had my Camera with me (so after my Haircut), I strolled around the area taking Photographs of the Carnival Attractions, which were still being Set-Up !
