I thought they were more anti-smashed-windows-by-idiot-kids devices!
Thanks to Suedehead, Buzzer and tyneside for the photos

Snapped at Kirby Lonsdale thanks to SCP for the photo.
A bit unusual this tyneside(off FB) photo wagon and drag with the dolly trailer of that length running general, I remember 1964ish when on a wagon and drag(cartransporter) the Carrimore empty unit and trailer were found to be longer than the regs set up required for wagon and drags and to comply the drawbar was shortened by about a foot. Crow’s may have had some dipensation for carrying longer stuff, beams/girders etc.

edit… just had a look through my Progressive stuff and find this with regard to over length Progressive wagons and drags prosecution by the police in 1963 and tho they were “caught” other firms were also running similar outfits at that time, it was all about carrying an extra car… The prosecution didn’t stand and costs were awarded against the police.

Ray Smyth:
Scenes during World War 2 in Liverpool, Royal Air Force lorries and trailers hauling P-21 Mustang fighter aircraft
from the docks at Birkenhead and Liverpool, which have arrived from United States of America. They are being
carried to United States Army Air Force base ( USAAF ) at Burtonwood, approx 17 miles away, where nowadays,
is the M62 Motorway and Burtonwood Services. My Dad was a lorry driver with the Royal Air Force throughout
World War 2, so I imagine he would have carried many aircraft. I know that the lorries in the first picture are
Bedfords, but I am struggling to identify the lorries in the 2nd picture, I think they may be Fords, not sure.Ray Smyth.

Snap, my dad was also a RAF driver during the 2nd WW.
He spent some time in Egypt so this may well have been take there.
I think its a Thorneycroft Amazon truck/crane, next to a Crossley.?
Couple of 6whlrs, notorious for wanting to go straight on ,God knows what this pair would be like on a greasy haul road ? NMP off FB

Nice to see the Amazon. They did offer different cabs and some had a different windscreen to the one in your pic.
Here’s a pic like the one your dad drove from a brochure.

“coomsey” The green Titan was the largest dump truck ever built and there was only one built. At the time and is still probably the case it was the largest truck ever built. Weighed 231 tonnes empty and had a payload of 317.5 tonnes. Now retired and is at a mine museum.
