Hi Ivor
I’ll try with three more photos, believed at Oakley Wood pitHi David ,Wow -you have been digging deep to find those pics after all these years ,a real work of art to load that lot ,no cranes or fork lifts – just graft , . I don’t think that overhang would go down well today though ! Thank you for your valuable contribution to the thread --Toshboy

I’ve just noticed that the three pictures are mirror images, I digitalised 35 mm slides and obviously got them back to front. The exhaust on the Foden went up behind the cab on the offside.
This was obviously a Police notification job, can see the rear marker boards fitted.
The last picture shows the heavy shop fitters removing the wheels.
If you look under the rear of the trailer you will see a 25ton jack, we had one either side to get the rear wheels (of the trailer) off. We would jack up the trailer plus loads of up to 45tons by hand.
