Here shown a version with
a "Insulated Signals Shell Body, Type E, Mk 3".
This standard body was made during WW II and continued
thereafter, when, in the Royal Air Force, it was usually
mounted on the Austin K9 1-tonner. The body shell was of
timber construction. Sides, end and doors were panelled
with sheet aluminium and lined internally with hardwood.
The roof was panelled with steel sheets and lined
internally with hardwood. Insulating material was packed
between all inner linings and outer panel. The timber
floor was covered with linoleum.
The Danish trucks were acquired from Great Britain after
WW II, and soldiered on through the 1950´s. The radio
carried in the shelter was known as the SMH. Same set-up
was mounted on Guy Ant trucks.
