found in a yard in Honiton near where Kings transport used to be
imho it was an AEC Mercury ?

The picture of McKelvie vehicle fleet number 246 was taken at the Scottish Motor Show at the Kelvin Hall Glasgow in 1961.
The vehicle was registered as THS 931.

Nice pic looks like she’s seen better days 
I run a group on Yahoo/Flickr to do with Hales/RMC would love it if you could add this pic there the address is
Seen t’other day in Leominster…
Not a brilliant picture I grant you…it was taken whilst waiting at the junction…IIRC the wrecker in the background is either a Leyland Roadtrain or the Scammel equivalent, I think these are still used as there were 3 Leylands there a week earlier and they seem to be in different positions every time I go past.
(Sorry if these have been posted before I havent trawled through all 10 pages)

there yard started off out there then moved down to the gravesend, at the canal basin,

as for the Sheerness steel i remember it well
i should do as i was meant to be left at the gate as a kid but some days i would just lay on the bed so no one would see me in the cab, and on this one day we had a load of cast on from old fork lifts so there was only about 10/12 big lumps in the back as dad lifted the body up they all got stuck so back we went slamming on the brakes for the load to come flying out pushing us forward fast and turning over the lorry and trailer for me dad to pull us out the window being asked what the hells he doing in the cab
