RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted March 7 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7 I had a quick look in at Popham airfield yesterday and came across this box being used, presumably, as a store.

BernardTPM Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Going by the number of vertical seams I reckon it's a 'C' type container, so 27' long (8' x 8' cross section) the maximum length allowed on trailers at the time. These were withdrawn comparatively early, superseded by 30' and then 40' types. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
