My Dad was a Gunner/Quad Driver in WW2, 6 years in the army and went over to Normandy on D2, ended up only one of a few that returned in his unit but got to Bergen Belsen. I have his service record and pictures of the Quad, limber and 25lb gun. I also have a fired Brass shell he fired. They were brave guys in those days.
Wow, lovely condition. A restoration very well done. This was always my favorite ground vehicle of WW II outside of Tanks. I made many a Morris Quad model kits as a boy and it's just as good now as I thought it was in the 60's. I'm very happy a couple of these are still around.

Great to see and hear it still doing what an "under-powered" but, "properly geared" truck of the time was designed to do on active service.
Thanks !
This quad used to belong to me, i restored it in the late 90’s.
And its still going strong Peter.
So you know that it isn't a Quad then.
@@gunner678 So what makes it not a quad ?
Awesome, just got a Tamiya model of this rig, cant wait to build! TFS, GB :)
Hi Graeme, It would be nice to see a pic of the rig when you've completed the kit.
The replacement to the USA Hummer looks a lot like that truck
Not a Quad but a Morris Artillery Tractor which we used early in the war
Other way round.
Both wrong....please research properly with real military records or actual users in WW2 ....Morris with late model body.
a large number of this got destroyed during the Battle of Malaya, 1942
25 pounder... not familiar with that, is that a 105mm howitzer?
25pouner field gun. The longest serving field artillery gun ever.
Great artillery piece.. was a gunner on this, the 105 and the 120 mortar back in the 90s.

Not a Quad. CMP Gun tractor.
Oh dear. Someone learned his "knowledge" of these things from some net "expert".
Its a Morris not a CMP.
