    right had some info back from douglas equipment

    The chap i spoke to thinks it might be a Douglas NS6 that was built for HMS Eagle around 1964!

    Anyone got any pics? we’re going to paint her up in navy colours if it turns out that it is indeed from Hms Eagle 😀

    edit:

    this is the only photograph I have managed to find of the tractor in service, though this one with a civillian company!

    there seem to be in places a light ish blue under the paint, in others just seems to be standard olive drab? Would it have had any stencils on it??

    I know though that the cab is a major bodge, would realistically remove that and restore it to an original state

    Pretty sure ‘232 is still in service, my mate up at kinloss said that out of the aircraft for disposal, XV232 was the best of the lot? recently had a major or something like that
