I am feeling ever sooo sorry for you “Buzzer” .
I thought you southerners used £50 notes as wallpaper .
O.K. , then ,…heres the answer to the E.R.F
s. location. One point for it being “behind a wire gate” , as you say.

Surely it’s an Octopus?Is that a Royal Blue behind it?

VALKYRIE
We had Leyland Cheetah single deckers (at least 2 mebbe more. 1957, long time ago) at W Alexander &Son, Grangemouth garage with AEC 7.7 engines, boy could they pull on a hill.

Hi “Oiltreader” ,
Thanks for the pic. of the E.R.F. on Malta .
Maybe this cab is another one from the same Brighouse company , the only difference being the grey paint
on the name Brighouse. I took this photograph at Burmarrad Commercials
compound` when on holiday in Malta last November .
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
