Rapier Resupply trailer in detail.

[101 Ron]

I know nothing of these trailers or how they were used.
I have taken pics of one in very good condition.
The trailer features box section steel chassis and the rest of construction is mostly alloy.
Hydraulic over ride brakes are fitted.
The floor is very strong and the size of the trailer looks like it could carry six reload missles in boxes being stacked in three, two high.
The trailer has a leveling / lower set up the reasons for I do not know.
The suspension is rubber just like the rear suspension on a mini moke.
A hand brake is fitted and the wheels are five stud.
A tail gate is fitted and the lighting is the same as used in a 101 landrover.

The above appears to be a tie down point for the missle boxes....or Helo lifting.

Note the pin which is removed from the suspension to lower or adjust to level trailer.( above)

Andrew,

Was this picture taken at Corowra this year?
Looks very much like ARN 31-213

I was not there, just the trailer in company of good friends makings its way gradually from SA to QLD.
