Double Bottoms in the UK

Eddie Heaton:
0I’m not sure if this qualifies for the double bottom thread or not, but it’s an interesting setup nonetheless.
Borrowed from an Atkinson Vehicles publication that I acquired at the Preston guild sometime in the early 70’s, the photograph illustrates Robert Heaton’s innovative solution to handling abnormal loads. I get the distinct impression however, that this rig may have experienced considerable difficulty in negotiating anything other than billiard table surface conditions.

Hello Eddie, What a fantastic picture.
Like you i can not see how it would work unevon ground and i do think it qualifies, thanks for posting it, PS what I would give for the boat!!! Harvey
