matt199 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Hi there im matt from the Oxfordshire area. Iv always had a keen intrest in all military and vintage vehicles but not yet been lucky enough to own one. I am hoping to find some information about a sentinel aircraft tug that was in my family for a fair few years. It was ex raf and originally had a rolls Royce petrol engine but was later fitted with a Leyland diesel engine. It was owned by my uncle for around 10 years and my other uncle for about 5 years before that. It was sold to someone from the britannia trust in roughly 2005 to be used to tow the britania at kemble.sadly the buyer called my uncle 3 months later and asked if he would like to buy it back as he had bought another.i recently found a photo of it on here in a scrap yard but the post was from 2011. I know it's a bit of a long shot but I am hoping someone will remember which scrapyard it was seen in. Thanks in advance, matt Edited May 29, 2016 by matt199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not one that I recognise, but you may find someone on here who can help. You should start a thread in one of the vehicle sections of the site (the introductions section doesn't get as much engagement) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
