Hi Chris,
The 'British forces', used several makes of quad gun tractors made to
the British specification. The most common is the Morris Quad. There
are still a few CMP Ford ones around in Europe. They make a nice
display complete with 25 pounder and limber. In the early days of MV
restoration, some collectors mistakenly thought they could get away with
just towing the guns around without the limbers (limbers were always
harder to find than the guns). They found the load easier to pull as

Apart from many European shows, there are always a number of them at
'Beltring', each year.
