Richard Farrant Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Richard I suppose that it could have been a chassis for this Hi Alan, Although the Light Mobile Digger (LMD) that you show here, was based on a Thonycroft Nubian, I think the chassis for this and the one for the missile crane are totally different, axle postions, cross members, etc. I am very familiar with the LMD, but have only seen one small photo before of the Missile crane. Although the LMD was another concoction from ROF Nottingham, I found it a fascinating machine to work on....and use. A lot of the problems with them was standing idle between exercises and siezing up. It was supposed to have been developed with experience from coal mining, which figures with the digging chains and conveyor. A postwar vehicle that I would put on my wish list ( if I won the lottery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
