Several locomotives that had been built specially for this contract were subsequently put to work on the Chattenden & Upnor Railway in Kent.

Very fine. (6) Military Cross, London Gazette, 19 August, 1943. "On 4th May 43 at Argoub El Megas this officer crawled to the top of a hill occupied on the reverse side by the enemy in order to direct Mortar Fire and observe the tanks and army. He had to go so close to the enemy that it was not safe for him to speak on telephone. He therefore climbed up and down all day to pass messages over his wireless at the bottom of the hill. Through his efforts and skill, effective fire was brought to bear on the party of enemy tanks which could not be seen from any other position. On 5th May 43 this Officer again carried out O.P. work in the same area and under the same conditions throughout the whole day. He again did invaluable work. On May 11th 43 a Sqn of our tanks was operating as a flank guard. The carrier Troop under the Comd of Lt. Hobbs was put under their command. Frequently under heavy automatic fire from the enemy tanks and M.G.'s, this Officer carried out recces, ahead of, and to the flank of our tanks, and again acted in the role of O.P. It was through his initiative and determination and complete disregard of his personal safety that our tanks were able to successfully engage those of the enemy." Bruce Robertson Hobbs (1920-2005), who was born on Long Island, New York, was the youngest, at just 17, and tallest jockey to win the Grand National, in 1938, on Battleship. He was the first jockey to win three Grand Nationals in one year, being successful in the Welsh and in Long Island's Cedarhurst version. He broke his back in a fall later the same year. Sold with copy of recommendation and copy of relevant pages from "No Secret so Close", 1984, by Tim Fitzgeorge-Parker; also obituary from The Independent

- Supplied new to the British Army and in service until 1964 - Older restoration but still in good order - 2-litre petrol engine, canvas tilt, MOT'd until June 2016 Further Info: This is where 'The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm and inspired by the wartime Jeep. Thanks to its ingenious high/low ratio four-wheel drive system, the resultant 4x4 was possessed of incredible climbing ability in all conditions including battlefields. Chassis 170604663 was supplied new to the British Army and put into service on 15th June 1956 (its military registration number being '81 BR 77'). Decommissioned some eight years later, it was granted the civilian number plate 'CBE 475C' during 1965. Thought to have been fitted with a correct-type but replacement 2-litre petrol engine whilst still part of the Armed Forces, chassis 170604663 now presents as an older restoration. An 86-inch short wheelbase model, the Landie is described by the vendor as being in 'good' condition with regard to its engine, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim. The transmission is said to be in 'fair' order. Sporting a canvas tilt, this desirable Series I comes with an extensive file containing various old MOTs, validation of its time in the Armed Forces and a current MOT certificate valid until June 2016.
