Hi Oily, there was a brick works at Cadder way back in 1964., I recall loading out of there for Bury St Edmunds that year about the beginning of March, very cold as I remember. I then loaded Suffolk Punch lawnmowers out of Ransomes Sims and Jeffries at Ipswich several drops for Yorhshire and ■■■■■■■■

Hi Leyland600, Working for W Alexander & Sons, Grangemouth, late 50s some of our early(very) shifts was getting workers from villages between Falkirk and Avonbridge to the brickworks at Avonbrig and there was also a brickworks at Armadale, I ramble so here’s another Comet load of bricks which originally would have been Bedfordshire clay or maybe from Calvert.

OTS:
I think that Artillery piece is a “Long Tom”.

harry:
Ford Canada made an identical one with the Ford Pilot engine. I think it was a V8 petrol.

classicman:
Is that not a Chevrolet badge on the grille?

harry:
Looks like a WW2 Canadian Chevrolet . 15cwt pickup?

Oily, I took this shot at the Trans-Pennine run many years ago. The picture doesn’t do justice to what is a massive outfit. The Mack prime mover is towing a wartime 5.5 howitzer (i’m sure someone will correct me if i’m wrong ) The restoration was done by Geoff Maskell from Seaham. The Mack had been a snowplough in your neck of the woods after its military service. The guys who drove those ploughs deserve a gong as big as a dustbin lid, canvas sides, primitive heaters, and very restricted forward vision, although I dont think they would worry too much about what they encountered traffic wise in a blizzard.

Hello everbody.First of all the Canadian Military Pattern CMP No.13 cabbed Chevrolet and Ford Military Vehicles.The small military lorry in the photograph is indeed a :-

Chevrolet CMP C15 CMP No.13-cabbed Covered Fixedside 15 CWT 4x4 Lorry,HUP 310,of 1942-1945.

A Ford equivalent is this example:-

Ford CMP F15 CMP No.13-cabbed Covered Fixedside 15 CWT 4x4 Lorry,HMW 685,of 1943:-

The Chevrolet is powered by the famous Chevrolet Cast Iron Wonder Stovebolt Six 216 CID OHV in-line 6-cylinder 85 BHP Petrol Engine.

The Ford is powered by Ford’s legendary V8 engine:Ford 239.4 CID-3923.766 CC 33 RAC HP SV V8-cylinder 95 BHP Petrol Engine.This was the engine that powered Ford’s middle class motorcar marque,Mercury.

Ah but,from here it gets more complicated:-
The regular Ford V8 on both sides of the Atlantic was the 221 CID-3.62 Litre 85 BHP engine,but a British Ford motorcar had the smaller Ford 136 CID-2227 CC 60 BHP engine:This was the:-

Ford V8-62 22 HP 4-Door Sedan-Saloon Motorcar of 1936-1939:-

And here is a British Ford V8 motorcar with the regular 221 CID-3622 CC V8 engine:-

Ford V8-78 4-Door 6-Light Sedan-Saloon Motorcar of 1937:-

The British Ford Motor Company produced military vehicles from 1939 to 1945,including the Ford 62 22HP
saloon-based WOA1/A 4x2 Military Saloon Motorcar,QV below:-

and the Ford WOA2 4x2 Military Heavy Utility Motorcar,QV below,but both were powered by the 221 CID-3.62-Litre 30 HP V8 engine:-

After the war,the WOA1/A was tranformed in to the Ford Pilot V8 4-Door Sedan Motorcar,RTW 663,of 1950,
ex-Essex Police Car:-

And here is a rather special Ford Pilot V8 Special 6-Door Saloon Motorcar,LBJ 563:-

And here is a 155 MM M1-M59 Long Tom Gun:-

And here is Mack NM5 6x6 Heavy Artillery Prime Mover,OS 6344,and this is the one that is owned by Geoff Maskell of Seaham,who re-engined it with a Mack B-Series diesel engine:-

VALKYRIE

A lot of detail there VALKYRIE, I remember the civvy V8 Pilots, a farmer local to us had one, they had quite a bit of zip about them compared to what else was around at that time in the family saloon catergory, thirsty (petrol then at about one and fourpence a gallon).
