Not sure if we know about this site, not seen it myself before.  Check out the ex RAF Constructor.

And that looks like a genuine 1/2 cab (i.e. no top half) Matador near the end?

[Tamber 10]

Wow, there's certainly some stuff in there!

Blimey , quite a collection , assuming an old dealers yard   I could not work out if recently viewed or historic photos ?

Need to show the dutchess these to stop her moaning, just to highlight  it could be worse at home than the yard art we have !!

[John Comber 13]

Had not viewed all the photos in the thread , amazed to see Tony Jordan's old highwayman and trailer just left to rot , how sad , ( I recall that coming loaded to GDSF with a Pioneer on the trailer 18 years ag0 ) I see photos are taken this month.

Looks like a nice collection of usable parts and maybe even some restorable vehicles... It might be worth while to find out where this site is and who owns it/the vehicles?

[N.O.S. 11]

The oldest vehicle (albeit not military) looks like the Scammell in the first 2 pics - and might be the rarest if it is a 6 wheeler.

I found getting my wife to watch a few episodes of Shed & Buried worked quite well : " See , I could be a whole lot worse , look what other folk have got ! "

Looks a very interesting place!

I remember finding this place on google earth some years ago, all that seems to have happened in the intervening time is that everything has deteriorated  a bit more, sad really there are some lovely trucks there.

The guy says the house on the site is empty so you have to wonder who owns this lot now.....

Where is this place, if someone can pm me details I'll start digging to find out what's happening with the collection, worth saving!

I would add that I do not condone trespassing on private land and that the photos were not taken by myself or anyone I know.

I thought that might be the case, it is easy to inadvertently click on the smileys.

Scrap metal, brass tubes.

[skippypete 10]

Just wondered if any one ever found out were this place was ?

 

[oats and barley 10]

a lot of those trucks are shiptons recovery or ex shiptons and they are based at a  rural location foston DE65 5PX looks like a memorial to me

[markyakyak 10]

Any news on these trucks ?
