Thanks guessty for the Bulwark pictures I worked for Ancliff in Ellsmere Port part of the Bulwark group got sent to Chippenham on a course for 2weeks I don’t know if many people know this but they had a tanker with the front half of the artic tanker was turned into an office with windows and we all sat in this while waiting our turn to drive it was interesting to see the tractor unit turning while sitting above it I have seen this outfit on the Bulwark web site it was pulled by a Seddon tractor unit this outfit was used in a TV series in the 70s I can’t think of the name but it was similar to the professionals these guy needed to get into a factory so they put the front of the tank back as normal and put a door on the back of the tank climbed in and where driven into the factory does anybody else remember this show and saw that episode?p
