Stone Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Just seen a Yellow DUKW on BBC news in London. It was in the background of an outdoor news report, and had been converted into a tour bus type thing. Anyone know anything about it? The brakes aren't great, one nearly ran me over on the way to the Imax a couple of weeks ago :nut: Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoggyDriver Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Met this on my way to work this morning . Very tidy looking example out on a test run . I thought the MOD got rid of all the RB44's, they must still have a few left. You have this one, and I saw an RB44 in BATUS/Cyprus colours on a railway waggon in a siding at Didcot Parkway along with a DAF 4 tonner.

snowtracdave Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Two CVRT's - think they were Spartans but didn't get a really good look - on a low loader heading out of Colchester towards the A12 this afternoon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 IIRC, those London DUKWs have Perkins Phaser engines, auto boxes and (at one time certainly) no drive to 3rd axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoggyDriver Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I saw a Foden wrecker today that looked like new and very much sounded like it had an auto box fitted. It never had a Crane, but the rear lift arangement. Two rear axles. AS it was in Thatcham there is a good chance it belongs to the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermarston.

Richard Farrant Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I had a low pass by a howling Tornado today. Not seen much RAF activity around here recently, perhaps it is the fine weather that has brought them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) I had a low pass by a howling Tornado today. Not seen much RAF activity around here recently, perhaps it is the fine weather that has brought them out. We've been suffering a plague of US fighters night and day here for the last few days. F18's? swept wing, v shaped twin tail fin. Not well up on modern stuff, no doubt someone can put me right:D Edited March 25, 2010 by Degsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0rris Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Going through Bulford yesterday, no pics unofrtunately, I received the shock of my life when I saw an Antar looking very smart next to some OSHKOSHes followed by a line-up that included a Centurion T55 and Chieftan, this was all part of a detour to check if the Perham Down AVRE was still there, needless to say at the end of the journey I was pleased with the haul! m0rris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog8811 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Scammell Explorer wrecker on the back of a yellow low loader heading anticlockwise round the M25 at J8. I only had a fleeting glance as I was going clockwise, appeared to be fully restored in olive drab, very nice.
