john1950 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If I remember correctly there was a post on here to identify a railway engine, a sign on there I think read 40 ASP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_g_kearney Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Well remembered, John! I searched for 'railway' and found the post. It does indeed look like a signpost directing traffic to 40 ASP. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1950 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 When my father transfered from the Army desert salvage, to the RAF air sea rescue. They did not have many spares, he knew where some Napier Lion engines were buried in the desert and they went and dug them up.Using them in the boats. It could have been an area used and vacated by 40 ASP. I also remember him saying he had watched an amunition dump being blown up to deny the stocks to the enemy, He watched the shock wave travel accross the desert floor. I have got singed eybrows just watching the video about Hot Forging, working in those conditiond day after day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Old post - but I found a photo of a Vulcan 14 Seat Coach and the engine looked a reasonable match for the RAF Horsebox posted above - plus the wheels in this attached photo suggest bigger wheels at the front - but this may be an optical illusion as in the photo I'm trying to identify. Could the RAF horsebox be a Vulcan then, as in 1940 it would not be that old if built circa 1926-28.
