Hi Tyneside, just had a google about West of Scotland Heavy Haulage and according to press reports it seems they fell foul of movement permit misuse. The one in your photo in a former life?

Ha ha, I well remember that metal right turn hand, and woe betide any biker who pulled up too close at the lights.
Not on the large vehicles used for road trains, but on the light Bedford on my first job in Darwin and also much later on parcel deliveries around Sydney for Yellow Express.*

*My goodness Buzzer, Coomsey has just reminded me of another long forgotten job.
