recymech66 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) I am going to show my ignrance here but..... They were big and green, the one in the middle had 8 large wheels and carried what looked like a folding bridge on the back The one in front, on a low loader, was tracked with a big blade on the front. The one at the back, also on a low loader, was enormous and tracked with a hiab type crane folded into it. They were clockwise on the M25 just transfering to the south bound M3 at 2:30 this afternoon.

Toolman Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Went to the National Coal Mining Museum today and not far away I spotted an RB44 in a yard at the top end of the A637 next to Grange Moor Coachworks I think it is. Don't know if anyone else has seen it before? Yes, i think it belongs to the Holgate (quarry) people. It's been there a few months and not moved. I had a quick look when I spotted it. Shame it's just deteriorating, windows down etc, must have been bought for a reason though. Berna knows the owner. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it seemed to be just sitting there with lots a plant machinery. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nudge Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Coming thru Grimsby today, something large and tracked on a low loader, couldn't tell what it was as the top of the hull hand been removed, could just about see the very large engine. Left on the A180 heading westbound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I saw Ian Litchfield driving his Jeep around the Oxford ring road at about 8:00 this morning. Then this afternoon an aeroplane went by very fast making a sonic boom. Very loud it was too. Sounded like a bomb going off. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Funny you should mention this as just this second there has been a piece on Midlands Today about the sonic boom that was made over the area yesterday. Apparently a helicopter set off an alarm by mistake that's why they were buzzing around. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I saw an item on the news about this ! It said they were on their way to "assist" a helicopter that was in trouble ! I can't imagine how an air to air missile heading your way is assistance unless you've engine trouble and you can't get back down ! :wow::wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeathJr Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Found these on Torrens Street EC1 earlier today, just round the corner of Angle tube. Wasn't expecting to see bits of HMMWV on a central London side street while the Abbot was (is) advertising tanks-a-lot. The HMMWV front and rear sections aren't in fantastic shape. I guess they are something to do with the scrap merchants at the end of the road. Just opposite was this: Have I stumbled onto something I shouldn't have?
