Brick and rubble, remains of London's bomb sites, being deposited on the Lea Valley flood plain at Hackney and turning the land into new playing fields.

From, International Harvester K-6 in Land of Promise, Documentary, 1946

southworthdt5 wrote My late father ran two of these K6's in the 1950's. They were originally supplied in right hand drive form to the City of London for clearing up rubble from the blitz of WWII. They had a very robust tipping gear made by Garwood. Straight 6 petrol engine about 3000cc I think, with a five speed gearbox with the fifth gear being extra low, or crawler gear as we called it. I got to drive them myself as odd times.....great.

 GGU 92 = Dec 40 - Dec 42 "allocated in blocks". Probably early 1941.
