Here is an interesting piece. Sir Vivian Fuchs of England is credited with taking 4 specially modified Tuckers to Antarctica for exploration and a continental crossing. Here is what appears to be an old original photo of one of those Antarctic expedition Tuckers, photographed in England.

For more information about Sir Vivian Fuchs, there is a Fuchs Foundation webpage and some other websites that detail some of the history of this English Explorer:
