Tarland Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Hi, Does anyone know what the dump truck is in the centre of the photo below? From the 59 Independent Commado squadron RE Facebook page. The former OC Rod MacDonald has posted a large photo album showing 150+ photos covering the voyage south, San Carlos water and Stanley post the surrender. This looks to be the Stanley Airfield in the reapir phase. Forklift looks to be an Allis Chalmers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I think the dumper may be a Thwaites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughman Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Recall seeing the dumpers at the Ponderosa in 1979. Didn't most of them go down on the Atlantic Conveyor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
