A Christmas cracker for you from the days when men were men and lorries were…well hard work to drive. But if you had a Leyland of that era they were one of the best. A mince pie to anyone who can identify the location (still recognisable today). Seasons greetings to everyone from Gingerfold.
Between Clitheroe and Chipping ?

Twin rig RAF Akrotiri '94
Our Newest vehicle arrived 1994
Knocked together in Watford but part of the Empire by then.
Full auto box
Good one mate that would be a Super Beaver,with a tag axle. It would be a 6x2. With what looks like a Leyland cab. It has a shorter bonnet with two vents,most probably a Leyland 680 motor.
There have been some of these restored in Spain in the last few years,very nice too.
Happy Christmas to you Leyland fans.
If it 'aint dropping oil or blowings smoke it 'aint a Leyland.

Hello.The “Twin Rig at Royal Air Force Akrotiri in 1994” is actually an AEC,and not a Leyland 
This lorry is actually an AEC Mammoth Major Six 760 TG6RB Ergomatic,Gloster Saro Fuel Pump and Tanker-bodied,6x4 3000-gallon Aeroplane Refueller,Tanker-bodied Drawbar Trailer Outfit,and the Royal Air Force bought many of these AEC’s from 1968 to 1977.
The other and later model aircraft refueller is a Scammell S26 built,as Soldier Z says,in the Scammell factory at Watford

Hi Guys, I seem to remember that those A.E.C. aircraft refuellers that we had in Germany in 1970 had a crash box and were assembled at Marshall’s of Cambridge. 
They also had a micro switch fitted to all the doors in the pumping compartment and if the contact was not touching the door as you were driving along then all the brakes would lock on creating one of those underpant changing life experiences. 
Did anybody else on here pass their class two driving one of those around Monchen Gladbach.
Regards Steve.

Constant Mesh Box not a Crash Box, this is a much misused term, in a Constant Mesh Box only the reverse or crawler gear or both would not be in Constant Mesh that’s why these gears would crunch if the vehicle wasn’t at an almost standstill, if you crunched the other gears when driving then you just weren’t very good at changing gear!

Happy New Year all, Dave, that Constructor would appear to be an AID fuel oil vehicle, is Powys Petroleum owned by AID of Cannock? My neighbour has his “red” delivered ex AID by a Powys tanker, and the OIL reg seems familiar! Good luck, and good health to everyone, Cheerio for now.
Leyland range pub in Australia.
What a great ad,thanks for that mate.
Interesting that it’s from Nov 61 and it only shows one LAD cab truck.
The big ‘Buff’ looks good. It’s quite amazing that the Big Albion 900 17 litre motor only put out 230 horse.
Also that the Hippo and Beaver’s only have 150 horse from the pre-‘Power Plus’ 680 motors. The ‘Power Plus’ 680’s would have been in LAD’s for over a year by the time this ad was published.
