Cant remember its reg but drove round the yard in it the day it arrived.Perhaps someone can tell me where this one came from,and
also what it appears to be carrying.
This low loader was operated by Hoveringham Gravels Southern out of Denham plant workshops, it was driven by Peter???? who lived near me in Reading and could always be seen in the supermarket car park of a weekend, (unit only) taking his family shopping.
I think the picture was taken when it was on a job moving army tanks and guns from Bovingdon Dorset to the docks in London. I can remember being told that it should have run in convoy with the army Antars but Pete got fed up going at 20 MPH so he buggered off on his own route and was at the docks hours before the army convoy.
