Evocative , I thinks the word. First"earthmover" I got my hands on,at 16 it gave me all the skills I needed for years later. NMP off FB

From France and trying to figure out the machine in the first 2 photos an elevator for person or materials, the 3rd photo same idea and definitely person. Credit to Dave Fawcett for the photos.
Looks like a Ford tractor in the first 2 pics Oily.

Love the Bedford/Queen Mary combo, with the bomber finely balanced on the backLooks like a Shackleton fuselage to me but not certain.
Definitely not a Shackleton,the nose cone is wrong,this looks like a bomber not a maritime recognizance aircraft.

Shackleton MR1?
The nose on those is different to other Shackletons and the large letter is in keeping too. Later ones did have a longer sharper nose though.
The position of wings relative to fuselage, cockpit windows and square port above wing all seem correct for a Shackleton.
Air intake on side also correct, and you can see where the blister for the underslung raydome would go.

Definitely a Mk1/ MR1 Shackleton, same nose window too.

“ERF-NGC-European”And this five-axle Leyland looks an unusual beast for the day. It’s wearing headlamp filters and carrying a tank so it’s in the mid-'40s at a guess! What’s the betting that isn’t tri-drive; but if you look, the hubs appear to be identical.
The 5 axled Leyland is one of Leyland’s own fleet,it’s running on TB Lancashire trade plates.Some wagon that.
Is that a genuine pic ? I am trying to remember if i have seen a Leyland with 3 axles like that on the back.
Trouble is these days there are people messing about with pics / photo shop etc that sometimes it confuses the issue.
The first of the 3 rear axles has mudflaps but the others dont ■■
A close look to the rear wheels show they’re all different. I’s say it’s a genuine picture of a 10x4 conversion, probably for this present special use.
Interesting stuff about the Shackleton.When I was in RAF at Changi Singapore 64-66 I used to put my name down to go in different aircraft when on air test.I went up in Hastings,Argosys and Shackletons.The Shacks were from 205 squadron,“Fourty thousand rivets shaking in unison”.The photo shows “C” Charlie doing a low level pass over Changi airfield,I think it was WL786,if so I flew in it.The crews were very friendly,would show you all around the aircraft,radar,wireless etc. but you had to be careful not to trip over main spar.Part of the test would be to feather each engine and restart,sometimes flying on two.The radar was known as ASV21 and even in those days very accurate,checking on shipping in South China Sea.There was also some other detection gear fitted which was supposed to be secret but it was to detect submarine exhausts I believe.Not my photo.Happy days.

Thanks Chris. I’m trying to work out how much younger than you I am 
but I do remember Shackletons being replaced by Nimrods at St. Mawgan in the late 60s. Being a sprog I was of course much more fascinated by the Nimrod at St. Mawgan air show days. Shame the Powers That Be didn’t allow the proper development of the Nimrod (shades of TSR2 I suppose). Here in Oz they were still flying turboprop AP-3 Orions up until a decade ago…
Used to see F.Gering’s motors over here at one time,but have not seen one for years now. They used to deliver furniture to
large resalers.

Or even nigh 
Tough choice, but give us the keys to the DAF guvnor.
Happy 2022.

I’m 79,joined RAF at 17 and a half,January 1960.Those Orions could stay up a long time if I remember correctly,maybe Canadian built?

Built by Lockheed AFAIK and adapted for the RAAF.

Certainly is ‘neigh’, with all that horsepower on display. 
And the same to you mate.
