Product Details

The famous engineering company David Brown, founded in Huddersfield in 1860 as a pattern manufacturing company, is well known for its tractors. Its original purpose was the design and manufacture of gear systems, specialising in machine cut gears. In 1902, it moved to the Park Works in the West Yorkshire town, where David Brown Engineering Ltd remains today as a leading supplier of heavy transmission systems. The Brown family were involved in DBT right up to 1990, when they sold their stake to the management who subsequently floated the DBT group as a public company. The David Brown Tractor was used by the RAF for the purpose of towing aircraft. This David Brown Tractor is from the 1950s era and this release is as used by the RAF the Middle East. Liveried in the Force's desert camouflage scheme, the seats, back rest and steering wheel are moulded in black. The RAF roundel is printed in red, white and blue on one of the front wheel arches, with the identification number B/1 printed in white on the other.
