This the original concept trailer that had a bottle loading hatch on the left rear workflow through a wash station then recharging with 6000 psi pure dry air,drying and completed delivery through the right hand access. This led to the project being know as the “bottle wash” . This two wheeler flipped on trials with the Army and was replaced with a four wheel variant which after more mods made it into service.
Forgot the full name Trailer Mounted Field.Sorry.
The army trailer shown is the Charging Equipment Pure Air, Trailer Field. The one in the background is the same equipment with the roof folded and stowed for towing.
