Quite co incidental really, I went to David Crouch's new yard with him the other day to have a look at all his Leyland DAF Drops trucks, to get to it you have to drive past KING Trailers manufacturing site, there were about 5 of the British Army Tank Transporter trailers back in their yard at the time.

The pictures were taken at the airfield belonging to Nelson Greens plant sales in Lincolnshire. You must always call and see them at their yard to get permission before going in. I have been their many times when passing over the last 20 years.

It has now been taken off u-tube before I could see it

Not going swimming there then...Landrover eating phirannas !!! -
Thanks Graham, My memory is not so bad after all ! hope all goes ok on the Cottam move this weekend. John

But Didn't Frank have an armoured one as well ? I am sure he sold it to a guy in America (before the embargo on USA built armour returning to the states) He once showed me a photo of it at Liverpool docks as it was being loaded. Peter Grey was involved in getting it through customs from France into the UK. John. PS how is Diesel Daughter doing with the Volvo ?
-
Was that the one which belonged to Frank Derrick ?

Thanks Graham great picture ! to think if I had gone to ZF in Nottingham a week sooner it would have been in my stable not ALE's. John

No their website seems a bit out of date, they are still showing my M746 Ward La France which I bought off them about 8 years ago !!!

Welcome Gary, How are you and your missus and of course Elliot the chease eating dog ! John and Suzanne, Stockport. We usually see you at Chatsworth, Suzanne is the one who winds Elliot up.

Don't really think Landrovers would make good range targets !!!
-
We got it last night and today...

Can you explain what is in the picture, cannot really see what they are. I am interested in 107s /110s as I am running an M578. Are they all still there or are these really old pictures. Presme you meant 107 not 109 ?
-
Does it have an inter vehicle start socket ? perhaps he was plugged in there, hope he never got a short circuit in the suit !
-
Have a look again Mike, there is a pair of exhausts up the back of the cab but nothing seems to be coming out from there. Maybe there is some different legislation in Switzerland governing where the exhaust exits which the owner has had to comply with ? John.

The blue sheets 12' x16' from Costco are excelent when combined with scaffolding, my Crusader has been under one of these for 2 years, just changed the sheet this Christmas as it was getting a little faded. They are about £15 for a bag containing 2.

Thanks Tony, I must apologise, now i've put my glasses on I can read the writing on the drawing ! I did initially dismiss the drawing as the wrong one thinking the poles for the blackout curtains was another set of main poles. I have none of the vehicle attaching poles, nor do I have the one vertical pole against the vehicle side. I do have 4 of the wire rope tensioner cables, but as you say they are not absolutely necessary. I will get all the spiders and poles out next weekend and do some measuring. Here are some pictures of the numbers on the canvas parts. John.

question I think I've bit off more than I can chew...
antar replied to ACH's question in I may be stupid, but......
Just a tip, put some pictures on taken from a distance so that we can see exactly where you are repairing for those of us less familiar with the RL CAB. -
Is the hint to me ? If so I have put all the ones I have away in one of my storage boxes, will not be able to get at them until next weekend, let me know what you want to know. If you have all the poles please let me know what the pole lengths are as the post did start with me asking for the pole lengths ! John.

Could the offender be picking up e-mail addresses from ads placed elswhere hoping to get you to use his site ?
-
Thanks for that Sabre.
-
I have purchased a quantity of side tent/shelters for the small comms bodies but they do not have all the aluminium poles with them. There seems to be 3 different length poles required of which I have the shorter 2. Does anybody know what the length of the pole should be which forms the near horizontal top of the shelter ?
-
Does anybody recognise what this mounting is off, it looks like it mounts into a turret ?
-
Clearly the booms could not have been that strong as they all seem to bend.

Can we asume from that comment that you have increased your Scammell fleet Nigel ? Any luck with finding a Crusader trailer yet ? John.
