A MK 5 APFC (Air Portable Container) for water supply on display at the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI), Manchester, UK.


I was informed that this was a portable water supply system used by the British military for deployment in the field. "The Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester, England, is a large museum devoted to the development of science, technology, and industry with emphasis on the city's achievements in these fields. It is an Anchor Point of ERIH – the European Route of Industrial Heritage – and is managed as a non-departmental public body. There are extensive displays on the theme of transport (railway locomotives and rolling stock, aircraft, and space vehicles), power (water, electricity, steam and gas engines), Manchester's sewerage and sanitation, textiles, communications and computing."
