These photos have recently surfaces of what appears to be the original mockup of the Workshop Platform, and what is probably one of the first production units of the workshop platform. 107-670 appears to play an integral part in these photographs from the Army Design Establishment.

This is the first photo that we have of 107-670, which is noted as a "Regular" series 2 109 inch unit in the ARN books that came in alongside a regular 88. Here it seems to be in it's original condition being towed behind a Series 2 Wrecker.

Her we see what we believe to be 107-670. Whilst there is no registration on the vehicle, it's original tub can be seen in the foreground on it's side.

The wooden mockup shows a fairly close configuration to what eventually became the Workshop Platform.
