In post #27, pic #2, what was the purpose of the truck being able to tilt the rear area? I've never seen that before.

Piet, those are some really cool photos...Thanks! I was wondering the same thing about the tilting truck beds, VB.

I'm curious to about the small tracked vehicles; are some of them commandeered Bren Carriers?

Some nice pics there Piet. Note that the first shot in the 'Fuel Trucks' group is , of course, a civilain truck, impressed into service on either Guernsey or Jersey,(can't remember which!) Channel Islands. And the second from last is a Crash truck, as is one in the final group. The former is, I think, a Bussing, whilst the latter appears to be an Opel.
The truck with its bed at an angle is simply a 'side tipper', used to off-load in one go to the side, instead of a heap behind, and would commonly be used, for example, for dropping road building hardcore etc.

Another quick question; in post #27 and pic #4 where they are attaching the RATO pods..is that a Me323 Gigant?
I thought it was when i first saw but the landing gear that was visible seemd off; I thought they had a half dozen or more wheels in close proximity.

Nice pics paul. Not sure, but the one of the He111 might be at Aalborg, Denmark. Wonder what the ceremony in the hangar is? Very interesting shot of some formal occassion.
