Title: Logistics Things
Post by: Jeffry Fontaine on January 18, 2014, 06:50:31 AM: I suppose this topic could be further divided and posted to each of the categories in this sub-forum but I felt that keeping everything in one discussion might better tie things in as logistics things go it depends on wings, wheels, trains, and ships to move cargo, fuel, munitions, and other supplies to where they are needed. So here we go. If this fails, then the creation of independent topics within the Air, Ground, and Sea subject areas can be done next but with that comes less integration and when it comes to logistics everyone is involved in one way or another.

Canadian manufacture of the Rota-trailer (Roger V Lucy, 20130916) (http://servicepub.wordpress.com/2013/09/16/canadian-manufacture-of-the-rota-trailer/)

It also appears that AFV Club will be including a very nice looking 1:35th scale Rota-Trailer with their new Matilda Mk.III kit (http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/newkitnews/afvclub.html) that is going to be available soon according to Terry Ashley at PMMS. I am hoping that AFV Club will also offer this as a separate kit. I would like to imagine a Rota-Trailer supply train with a half-dozen of those little trailers getting towed behind a truck or tracked vehicle.

I hope you meant "yoke" and not "yolk"…cause the latter is going to get messy ;D
