N.O.S. Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I noticed you'd mentioned that on another thread, CW:thumbsup: If we all followed your example we might end up preserving something special to hand on to the next generation, but I was just thinking that NPT's Militant would have hauled out a heck of a lot more acres worth of trees during its working life out there had he not intervened :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swill1952xs Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Not sure which mk is which:confused: Well................. I can tell you what the second photo is :-D It's an Albion WD HD 23N, and I'm pretty sure that was the one I tried to buy off a chap in West Sussex. He had it up for sale at 1500 pounds and it still had the original petrol engine in it. It had about 6,000 miles on the clock and the cab was near perfect, although the wing mountings were pretty poor. When I tried to buy it off him, he had changed his mind about selling it and was going to put an AEC 760 engine in it. The last picture of it I saw was when he had taken the engine out. He was in the process of moving out of his yard and I haven't been able to contact him for some time. I would have liked to see how he got on with the conversion; bearing in mind that the Albions gear linkage is mounted on the engine crankcase. He was in the scrap metal business and was going to fit a flat bed on the back for carrying scrap cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 CW, The third pic down, yellow truck, is not an AEC Militant, it was originally a Coles Crane with AEC components. Coles built the chassis, the engine was, I seem to remember, similar to a Matador, as was the gearbox. They were built for the RAF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swill1952xs Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Albion identity confirmed..................... He had spoken to the Albion Archive about this truck, so I presume that is where the photo came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Here is a useful looking Militant sitting in a field at Abington, near Biggar. It was for sale for £2000, which seems like a good price. Anyone know where it went to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
