Good evening,
the day after tomorrow I‘ll fetch my Sankey NT
Here a first question: does there exist a similar history for trailers as for other vehicles in the British Army?
On Saturday I will see how readable the id- plate is.
Then will come the first pics too,
Steve

Hi,
now I‘ve got my Sankey trailer
After I have tried to fill the fields with the dares I have got now at rlcarchive I get now answers
Perhaps does someone here know how I can find something about my trailer (perhaps the units of serving and the numberplate (32 ET 43?) and year of begin of service?

They do hold the records for your trailer. Just enter it as 32ET43 not as 32 ET 43 & leave the other lines blank

Hi,
can someone tell me, in which year my Sankey could have come into service while the numberplate is 32 ET 43?
Regards, Steve

Hi Steve,
I believe that ET should put your trailer somewhere around 1966/67.

Well, meanwhile I have put of the more or less smaller parts of my Sankey.
I am so happy, that every screw and nut came of with normal manpower.
The layers of colours and some underbody protection stuff have protected the most of the threads.
Sorrowly the plug with the 12 Pins is missing and I want to ask here, whether someone here has got one and can sell it to me?
Have a nice weekend,
Steve

Today again worked on my Sanky.
The tub I put down last days already. Now I made off the loose parts of colour and I found this:

What does this sign mean? Can somebody tell me?
And I have a question with the rings in the tub: how are they fixed?
Regards, Steve
