Thanks to all the contributors on here.

Another little gem I photographed at the Malta Aviation Museum recently , was this Karrier Bantam.
It was formerly operated by the R.A.F. in Malta as an Airfield Control Vehicle. The tower section was fitted with internal radio controls
for ground-to-air-to-ground contact. Anti-glare glass panels were fitted to lessen sun reflection, and to the exterior , radio antennae , and a windsock were added to the red and white chequered markings.
The Karrier was presented to the Museum in 2012 , and is being restored to its original glory.

Also , thanks to “Adr” for the photo of the Born Again Maltese Bedford.

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Snapped this wagon on Friday, hadn’t noticed driver other side of trailer (tho’ he’d seen me), anyway after winding legs down etc. he came across for a chat, turned out he is the owner and I was invited to their yard in Dingwall anytime saying they overnight wagons from the south and I might catch a few, his son drives the Scania in the second photo.

Pic No4, well I’ve posted this before and during our chat I find he owns this wagon and yard(our village) and he tells me there is also an old ex army Mack there as well, so I might be now be able to get in and have a proper look

That last shot looks suspiciously like one of the big Atki/Gardner 150s that were supplied to Pickfords.

Mate of mine who used to drive one say’s you needed a torch to find the engine under
the massive bonnet. Plus they were absolutely gutless.
