Ayers of Stokenchurch...All now Scrapped

When I last posted this one, I said I guessed one or the other had broken down

I guess the bonnet sides being off the Mk3A says that it is the later Antar in trouble not the petrol Mk1

Garden shed or Anderson Shelter... I dont know which, but it doesn't look right

tommorow i'll show you what a garden shed looks like when grafted onto a Mat Recovery....

A couple of slightly better views in the book "Hills of Botley" by Jack Hill/Bob Tuck, they show a home-made A frame for the jib - if I remember I'll put it in my truck for you to look at. Some great ex-military truck pics in this book, well worth a view, especially for the Antar pics.

I am not sure that the Tele jib is actually on the Mat, I always took it to be on a truck behind the mat????

And another black and white oldie.

More Recovery Mats.

Alltransport Mat is Chassis O8533449, this one is O8536692

A few more recovery vehicles.

Douglas converted his early Matador to Logger convertions in these three lock up garages.

I am totally unaware that Pickfords ever ran an Antar. Tell me more...

Has anyone got a good spare Petrol tank for an Explorer, or a Scammell tank that has been used for diesel? I don't particularly want to have to weld my wifes one which drips petrol at present?

I think this one originally belonged to the bus operator, Barton Transport in Nottingham.

Spot on.. Bartons.. but is Chassis O8534326

and again seen with begging bowl at AEC rally Woolaton Park circa 1989/90

Here's Mike Gilberts' old bus recovery Matador, these were taken in 1999, it has since been sold back to Yorkshire Traction.

 

 

 

And in Yorkshire Traction Livery

And I concider this a bit odd 'cos it is a ministry of supply Reg on an RAF Mat

Biggin Hill and a RAF steel bodied dropside, (minus sides) is alonside another signals Matador

Much published photo of 50KVa generator truck, sides open and (presumably) running
