Love or hate the Yank tanks, this is beautifully restored.
We used to service one of those Neville Dumptrailers behind a D series Ford back in the 70’s, it was permantly coupled but the owner did carry the landing legs with him just in case! Amazing that any have survived really.

Is this Annan Or Hexham Factory ? I used to load regularlaly out of The Hexham Plant in the late 60s Early 70s, It was a bit off a mystery to me I used to take the loads to Hull tip at King Geo Dock & Then re-load with a similar type of board & deliver it to South Shields to Reeve Timber Ltd, ■■?, But It kept me & a lot more drivers in full employment, Regards Larry.

Here are a few more Sentinels. The eight wheeler was first built by them. It only came about because of
an accident. The weight limits were penalising steamers so there was a concession which allowed eight leggers
to be built within limits. AEC built the first diesel version.
