Hello Offtherails,
I don’t no were it is. The driver of the truck tel me it was Brownhills. But if i look to al the photos of the building i cant find the corner of the building. I think you are right. It is somewhere else.
Maybe someone can tel where it is this building of Frans Maas in the U.K.
Here the compleet photo.
Regards, Bert Wolters
Here i have an old airphoto of Frans Maas Brownhills. I dont now from wat year. U can see that the is no high lager building. Only the low building.
The area of Brownhills
Who nows something of thoose tractors pulling in that time.
Left i think an DAF 2500 of an Scania with an citytrailer. On the right an Scania.
I think it is this Scania. Only the other had an spoiler on the roof.
