Grainger's Mesowax.....that is available in olive / khaki flavour as well as clear. I think Fabsil is a silicone product.

I've seen some trucks,such as the Foden FH70 limbers registered as a mobile cranes to get around the MOT and HGV Licence requirments, be carefull as mobile cranes are not allowed to tow trailers.

Hello Richard,

I think you will now find that the old loop hole of Mobile Cranes has now been tightened up, as that catagory now requires HGV licence.

So what would a Bedforf RL and a GMC 352 come under, just a normal license?

Hi Shane,

Mind if I jump in on this one? It depends on the build date of the RL, bearing in mind they were built from 1952 to 1969. Any built from 1960 onwards would come outside of the exemption. Regarding GMC 352 they are pre1945 so no problem there.

Hi all,

Looking forward to taking part in this forum, hopefully it will have an even spread of vehicles to discuss, not predominantly US as some other forums. From this you may understand that I am an enthusiast of British (and Commonwealth) vehicles from 1930's to present day.

I have been working on military vehicles for over 31 years now as a full time job, firstly with the MoD Workshops and then with my own business after the Workshops closed.

Not only is Military Vehicles my profession, it has also been my hobby, for a longer period than that, starting with two BSA B40WD motorcycles, one British Army and the other, Royal Navy. I have been a member of MVCG / MVT since 1978 and also an original member of IMPS when it started in 1980.

regards,

Kewelde
