NO NO NO Sheets aren’t/weren’t used for securing loads no way i’ve been told on here so it must be right
An opportunity to ridicule invites further involvement, FFS give it a rest , too many good people have left or stopped posting.

Hardy type then, I reckon his window is wound down, or did AECs have dropped downs like Atkis, can’t remember? Then again he might have had the side bonnet cover missing, as I did once with a Micky Mouse Foden and had both windows down in all weathers.

Didnt mean to give the thumbs up, put in wrong place
To my knowledge it aIn’t me who’s calling anyone a liar on here just because they don’t fit in with the clique view.
I used tilts. I used them on UK general haulage not the Middle East or international.
If someone tells me it takes a crane and an army of volunteers to work with one I’ll draw my own conclusions but I won’t call them a liar regardless.
I haven’t insulted Ro etc with any such accusations and I don’t expect the same from them.
Or them playing the laughable go home crying card because they don’t agree with something I’ve dared to say which they don’t agree with.
I see no snapped or even just loose ropes among the fallen load.Obviously no torn shredded canvas sheet either.
He obviously agrees that the ropes hold the load on the deck.
The sheets keep it dry, if needed.
I obviously do know what a tilt is .
Unlike some to the point of knowing that it won’t need to be stripped, let alone stripped to a flat, for most jobs. Just like no one needs to cut the roof off of a curtain sider with a gas axe for any job it does during its working life.
Going by the supposed difficulties I guess you needed the help of the Iraqi and Saudi army’s logistics divisions, including a mobile crane, to strip it and rebuild it, all to load an tip some pallets.
Ok CF I get it…but why are you adressing your post at ME?
That’s a neat little outfit, and a Mk 1 with Mark 2 mirrors. I converted my Mk. 1 at Midlands Storage to put the mirrors in that position instead of looking through the door windows at them, but I didn’t have Mark 2 mirror arms so didn’t do such a smart job as that.
Looking back I am amazed that nobody raised any objections to a driver drilling holes in the wooden frame under the screen. It must have been the norm in those days because at Shaws I painted coachlines on the doors of my Albion and fitted twin horns from the Standard Vanguard I was scrapping to use as a banger racer.
I have no idea if the Albion was 24 or 12 volt, would they have worked in a 24 volt system? 
I think the craic is about some TN members being "left handed threads " and they are bailing out of the site but CF won’t fox trot oscar with them ! I think I am understanding what has happened here !

Aye I get what it’s about, it’s why he’s adressing me I’m puzzled about.
I’m about the only one who hasn’t argued with him on this thread.
He draws everyone into his evil web eventually 
Hopeless guesswork as usual. More fantasy. More disinformation.
Where does all THAT come from? Unless help was on hand, I did it on my own. It takes hours to sit astride the cant-rail and slowly ease the sheet forward to the bulkhead. If it’s pouring with rain, you have to keep prodding the sagging pockets of the sheet with a side board to dislodge the water. I’ve been up on the roof with a bucket, baling the water out. My own tilt had colour-coded ends so that I could stack the boards, pillars and dropsides meticulously in order of reassembly. In the desert heat it took hours because of the heat and whenever possible, waited till nightfall when it got cooler. Most loads were too big not to be craned off.
I never went to Iraq, never saw Saudi’s army logistics, never used a crane to rebuild a tilt. The trouble with you is that you appear to be unable to distinguish fantasy from reality. The result is that you then say things that are untrue. An untrue thing is called a lie. But you don’t like being called a liar. You need to sort that one out once and for all.
