Wrong colour I reckon ?
I reckon they are RM vans from the early seventies. You can just about make out the old style RM crown logo on the van sitting on the swan neck.
Post Office Red seems to have got lighter over the years even though it’s all supposed to be Cherry Red – BS538. Mind you, I have seen black cherries 
You are in Gods country up there Dan is the wind farm trying to outdo the Galloway Hydro Scheme built in 1935 -7 with the same water put through 6 power stations before reaching the Solway Firth at Kirkcudbright, Tongland being the last powr station. I took many loads of bulk cement up through the Galloway hills to the Tairlaw dam being built in 1974 with my ERF then Foden S80 bulk powder tanker.

Yes they are mostly arch dams but with varying radius depending on the valley side profiles. Some of the power station buildings are now listed buildings.

Was he a dealer as he traded the V8 ■■■■■■■ Ford in against it ? It had double mono leaf over slung springs on the drive axle and super singles and a trailing axle ,father had some level springs made and put 1000 by 20s on to get the height down .he had to do this as fine lime ran to the front of the body ,these springs he had made twisted with a load of spar on near Reeth as it turned out they hadn’t been tempered properly.
