A couple of shots of Tonys Pickfords T at the old premises of Channel Commercials, Tony that must have been at least 10 years ago if not more can you remember -
Niels its the FV 1200 prototype artillery tractor i am certain both were cut up back in the 1970s, crying shame as a surviver would have have been ultra rare

Welcome Tim, good to see another Kent man here

Forrests eh! i have a photo of that some where in use with the fair i will post it when i locate it, if i am correct the pioneer did not venture down to our part of the county but i belive it came down as far as Faversham and maybe ashford. John Forrest always supplied our yearly fair and has done so as far back as i can remember his main tractors in the 1950s were two Mack NM5 and a FWD COE 4x4

Civilian T model 981 in use by a construction company i believe in Aus, this one has been converted to a semi trailer set up. I cant make out the lettering or the door motif so prehaps one of the guys on the forum from down under can help cheers Les -

Correct on that its a 71/2 ton 6 wheel Crane and i think a Cat D6 on board and my data puts it at between 7.5 and 8 tons depending on attachments so the trailer would be capable but on the limit -
Great stuff Richard looks like local Maidstone based lorry used to recover her so presume you found her in the county i note the modified wind screen but cant recall seeing this truck out as a recovery in the long past was she a Kent based recovery when in use and finally will you be restoring her back to a transporter or a civvy based as seen cheers Les
