I'm not sure about the not stopping the flow bit, certainly they had the option to do that, from the detail I have.

In fact I've just been fortunate enough to lay my hands on a pair of 40's brass gas pistols to re-arm my A3 bowser.

If you owned all of those your retirement income would be in pretty good shape.

Thanks, it should have posted rather than giving a link. I'm doing something wrong but not quite sure what yet.

The picture is Slapton Sands U.K. 1944. The same Slapton Sands as Operation Tiger, where there were sadly many losses in a pre D-Day training exercise.

All the "cans" in the foreground appear to be of British manufacture.
Is the crane set on a Bedford chassis?

Nice pic

Karoshi thanks

John I'm afraid I've no other information on this one other than an April 44 date.

Operation Tiger a "full" dress rehearsal for D-Day took place on the 28th April 1944. I can only guess that this picture was part of that operation.

As for the crane, sorry but I have no idea, but I'll give it some thought.

I think it's a Quick-Way E-55 mounted on a 4 ton 4x4 Coleman G55A.
