1941-1942 Fordson WOT8 4X4 truck
The WOT8 was the only one in England produced with a payload of 30 cwt (1.5 tons), and four-wheel drive. It was the forerunner of the WOT6 (one can be also seen in this image) with a shorter wheelbase and a lower payload. In 1941 and 1942 some 2,500 copies were produced. The British military had also used the vehicle as an artillery tractor in North Africa. During the war, there were 868 units shipped to the Soviet Union. Of these, 731 reached their destination. The Red Army also used the vehicle as a launching pad of Katyusha rockets '
