Thornycroft with a Miles built cab. Miles probably built the tank as well.
Pete.
Also appeared on Albion Caledonian tanker i believe,
On the way back from Perigueux today. At the time I thought he knows the road and his height to a ’ T ', but seeing the video afterwards, and his brake lights, perhaps he was not so sure. 
Click twice for the full effect. 
Will it?
Won’t it?
Phew!
Cattle truck? With an elevating roof?
Yep, not as as sure a 4.0m tilt is it?

Yes, a cattle haulier, the body on the wagon was slightly higher than the trailer. I wonder if he had a last minute moment of doubt. I once sailed through one of the arches at Steel Peet and Tozer in Rotherham with a container on, just as many times before. I never had such a moment I was so confident but I fractured a steam pipe just the other side and brought screaming typists pouring out of the offices above. No comeback on me because nobody could work out why it hadn’t happened before.
Double post.

Thanks to Buzzer for the photosand Geordielad for the info
Buzzer’s photo of the Dutch? barge, I’d say is loaded with brewer’s grains, north of the border we call it brewer’s draff and in my youth it was fed to cattle. Back in the '60s a firm James and Son would be seen back and fore on the A4 out of London with Ford Traders and Bedford TKs with drags carting brewers grains one of the collections would have been from Fullers which was on the A4 at Chiswick, memory a bit foggy but pretty sure that’s where it was.

Spot on Oily, west London my end of the world growing up. Fullers were as you say on the A4 at Chiswick off the roundabout officially known as Hogarth roundabout because of a nearby big house but known to locals as the Cherry Blossom roundabout because of the boot polish factory there. You mentioned James and Son. There were quite a few breweries around the area. As a very young lorry spotter I often used to see their Ford 7V predecessors to the Traders running about, usually with the wet from the grains dripping out, almost a silent approach from their SV V8s compared with most of the lorries then. Good beer Fullers by the way, get round the outside of a pint or three of their ESB (Extra Special Bitter) and you know you’ve had a drink.

One for DIG down under, Buzzer
Thank you Buzzer and a bit of nostalgia about the the Richmand Brewery [now part of the Carlton breweries ] the then owner mr Grant Hay in 1927 purchased 3000 units of purified gin from the British army headquarters Lahore and on sold it to the Al Capone consortium in Chicago for his boot legging industry mr Grant banked a cool million pounds ) not a bad little nest egg.

Saturday menu, Buzzer
As ever thanks for posting.
In pic 1 it looks like they are filling all those jerry cans. It must have taken hours. If petrol it must have been nerve-wracking too! Incidentally there is a good video on YouTube giving the history of those German designed jerry cans. An excellent design that the Allies copied (kind of).

Apparently they were copied from some captured cans as the German design suited well, infact they reckon 20 million of the things were in the second world war, Buzzer
Clan Cars rally at Sunderland Air Museum this weekend, couple of miles from where they were originally built.
