Wow! Another great photo set Darren - it'll really come in useful when I get round to my 1:35 Airfix DUKW. (It comes with exactly these markings! Until now I only had a few mediocre snaps I took of it a decade ago...)

Alan that cleaner has most likely been there since Tom took his pictures. What impresses me with this vehicle is size, I don't think many realise how big a vehicle this is until they stand next to one. Glad to help Tom.

Used to play on one of these when a small boy it was on a caravan site near Oban, guess it was left behind after the war, had a look for it couple of years ago but it's long gone. Remember making the Airfix 1/72 because of it. Would like to make up a 1/35 one if any are out there, An old favorite.
