Nice one: I think that’s a 10m tilt. Nice to see a Dennis unit.

Not often you saw a TK pulling a tilt!

Crane loaded onto a flat. Dutch ferry tug?

I reckon you’re right there: the ready-made tilt craned onto a flatbed appears to be a predecessor of the Caissemobile version (twistlocks) of the following decade. And the LHD Bedford appears to be Dutch registered. Well spotted!

Nice one! An 8m tilt, I’d say.
