It left a bad taste in Shaftesbury Dean, one chap with grand ideas and more than a few people out of pocket if i remember right.
Dave Hardiman ran Morgans and his son Nicky still has a yard near by on sand a ballast. Harvey

anorak:
Much further up the page, there are some York trailer adverts. On one of them is this:The cab does not have the presswork detail of the LP, unless it is an aftermarket add-on sleeper. I reckon Krukabman might have the answer- Bussings came with all sorts of cabs, some coachbuilt.
The axle does indeed look odd- like a GB bodge job circa 1983
.
They did make some nice looking coachbuilt cabs like you say “anorak”
smallcoal:
Hi Dean,there’s a lot of artic mixers now with rear steer,the rigid mixers with three axles on the back ,the last axle is a drop down rear steer,the one on the right has rear steer,the artics are 12 mtr carriers the 8 wheelers are 10 mtr,and the 6 wheelers are 6 & 8 mtr carriers so all depends how many Mtrs. a company wants I’m taking 6000 ltrs of admixture to hinkley today they got a 12,000 mtr pour on so they be using a lot
Nice pics John. I have seen the ones with 3 rear axles and a lift at the back but not the artic one you posted. That Hinkley site must be a busy place i would imagine. 
HRS:
Harvey,Heres a bit more about that F88 that was on ebay that you popped some pics of on here.Good morning Dean and welcome home.
My wife has one cousin left in that area and she is in Denny.
Strange coincidence, although the area has the largest number of UFO sightings, it also consumes the largest ammount of electric tea. Harvey

my dad bought a coles hydra then replaced it with a hydracon , if you could put the coles chassis under the hydracon it would have made a great crane . the coles was quick on the road , it had an aec engine , but was slow to erect, the hydracon was woeful and slow on the road , but quick on the job as it was all hydraulic, ok on local work where you could get 3 or 4 quick jobs in a day, but painful if you had to do some distance.

Amoco had a North Sea Gas plant at Easington on Spurn Head next door to the one BP had.You could load gas condensate 24/7 under cover at Amoco,20 minutes 6000 gallons,you were monitered by camera,never saw anybody. BP loading point was out in open,6000 gallons in an hour and only loading 0800-1600 - unless their storage was getting full in winter and then you could load anytime.
