diamond 981

Thank you Adrian, cant wait to go back to DVLA as they also said should i need to re aply ,they would need to inspect vehicle.Narrow access , parking bays big enough for jeeps(just),manourvring room zero, some fun to be had there.

Visited local DVLA office today to try and get my Diamond T 981, re registed as historic vehicle with age related number plate.Once a Q plate always a Q plate was my reply. Even after use of MVT verification service DVLA would not accept my application. Any one had same experiance?

TM 9-2800(STANDARD MILITARY MOTOR VEHICLES) page 430,Trailer ,full,flatbed, 20 ton.As manufactured by La Crosse Trailer and Equipment Co;Rogers Bros.Co. This looks to be almost identical to the JAHN trailer . The Rogers is known as Model H-20-L-S-14

Two Rolls Royce DerwentMk 1 jet engines mounted on a conflat wagon were used on the Buxton to Ashbourne railway to clear heavy falls of snow in and around briggs sidings.

Anyone know where i can obtain replacement linnings for the hand brake on my 981.Would also need the rivets.

Due to defence budget cuts two more tank regiments have started the amalgamation process.

Nice one Mike. Have now got a bad case of the dt,s the 980-981 strain.:-D

The number on the drivers door is 4403 cannot make out the number on the example in Pats book although it seems to be 44??

How rare is this combination? On trade plates Is it a cranes trailor or one made by elliot and garood of beccles? Looks like the sheet has been shrink wrapped on it's that neat.

Found this in my collection today, no details known.

Might be one of the replicas built for the film A BRIDGE TOO FAR

Used the same on my diamond t bonnet, works a treat

For all explorer owners you just got to see this,35bc46 at work.Search for(Bowmore Boiler Film part 1 - 5.)Apologies if this has been mentioned before ,i have not seen any reference to it on hmvf. Stay with it and enjoy .I did.

A rear end shot of the ex Cadzow t, shortly before the wrecking gear was scrapped a shame , but the main frames were wafer thin.

Hello Les long time no see i think it was at Donnington last year we last saw each other, i was with Graham.It may have been the year before.

Here's the photo's of my ex cadzow T More photo's to follow later.

The ex cadzow t has a leyland 680 power plus lump coupled to a leyland 5 speed box linked to the original 3 speed transfer case.Other owners have been Motherwell Bridge recovery ,R G Hamilton, Massey bros of Longcliffe Derbys and John Byard a gentleman who had always wanted to own a t.I had the pleasure of towing the t behind my mack nm8 from longcliffe to a farm near the tramway museum at Crich, 38 miles 42 gallons but the mack was in low range most of the way.But huge fun.A few months after John realised that the preservation of such a large vehicle was beyond his capabilities and presented it to me v5 and all.I will post relevant photos later if anyone would like to see them.
