I doubt that's the Poland in 1939. It is a British Vickers Carden Loyd Utility Tractor B. The Germans captured a number of them only in Belgium in 1940 where the vehicles were also produced under the licence by SA des Ateliers de Construction de Familleureux in Brussels. The Germans designated it as the Artillerieschlepper VA 601 (b).

BTW ... the vehicle wasn't parked on the "nose" but on its back.

And despite all the sites and sources that say the first flight was piloted by Ed Elliott, that's just not true. In October 1938 Elliott was still in the Navy, stationed in Hawaii. His service record says so, and his son confirms it. How his name became associated with that first flight is a mystery.

Here's one in the Belgian military museum in Brussels. Quite small...

Is there only one Ed Elliot?

If not that may be the answer.

The Spitfire was difficult to fly. When can tell to look at the number of pilots it took. 1945

The photograph captures the essence of the era, highlighting the bravery and courage of the pilots and crew who served their country during the war. The photograph is a great collectable for militaria enthusiasts, especially those interested in World War II and the R.A.F. Small tear top edge.

You can tell they are all commissioned officers because not one of them has worked out that someone needs to be in it to
make it go. They are probably still there.
