This really is “Past and Present”. First ever “Tautliner”, built in the late 60s.
Many years later, returned to Boalloy in Congleton, the offside restored as
original, the nearside to a more recent specification. I believe the trailer
is now in The Science Museum, London ■■?.

Thank you to Angela and Craig Pickering at Boalloy for the picture.

Regards, Ray Smyth.

More past than present. Credit for these two photographs. Keith Beckett.

A pair of long nosed Americans spotted yesterday, Mon 15, on the seafront lawns, Beach rd, Weston-super-Mare.
Both obviously with a travelling circus.
The Peterbilt as a Tennessee reg plate. I could not see a UK plate.
The Kenworth Aerodyne as a UK plate and normally be hooked up to the trailer behind it.
Both in a beautiful condition, OTT to our eyes perhaps, but a welcome sight nonetheless.

Where did you see this contraption Lawrence and what is it, something to do with North Sea Oil I guess ?
Here are some images of activity in Scapa Flow last week including a walk towards Scapa distillery for a sniff but the wind was in the wrong direction.

Have a job turning the tractor round in front of the weighbridge, let alone with a trailer behind it.
