Hello DEAN ,,anther Richard Marstone ,he has a big fleet of Scanias from Halfway house Shrewsbury ,and SM DAvies too are Scanias with a few MANs ,from Welshpool Dean we were talking about Crowthers of Craven Arms when they bought out Burgoynes ,who were based just outside Craven Arms on the Much Wenlock road the one you pictured are from down Hereford way ,thank you Trevor
Re: PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTIONIs the yellow DAF Grayston,white & Sparrow,crane hire company
Re: PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION
Optical illusion DEAN, if you follow the trailer base down over the back axle it is in line with the wheels.
