Saturday salvo, BuzzerIMO the Hillcrest AEC with the high sheeted load is not completely safely roped. The front cross is wasted as it should come from at least 3 hooks back, not the first as show. The whole point of a cross is to stop the load lurching forward onto the cab. The way that is roped would not prevent that.
Spardo since you mentioned that I blew it up and am not convinced there is a rope crossover, looks more like a crease in the sheet have another look, Buzzer
I see what you mean but to my eyes I see 2 creases in a ‘V’ shape and then what looks like a crossover rope in the middle which goes over the corner to the first hook. Each to his own I suppose and he might well have had a high headboard which makes a retaining cross less necessary.
I did like the curved corner screens though, wouldn’t have expected that on a vehicle of that vintage. Any idea what year it was?
David,VEH was Stoke on Trent CBC Feb 1962 which is late for a MK3 AEC,the MK5 came out in 1958.Cab could possibly be either Oldlands or Strachan?
