Worse places to be week-ended in young Patrick…no info with those pic’s, but does look ex military with the roof openings, and they do look
Russia - ish…
Here you go Patrick, you could be week-ended in this…two boards across the seat and an old army coat and blanket…so stop whining… :
You youngsters have never had it so good !!!

What is the village /small town in France where all the old army lorries and jeeps are alongside the road and are in 2 yards in the village, I have driven through it several times but cant think where it is.

Now hold on there mate, I’ve been sleeping “rough” in a day cabbed Volvo once before…that lasted a whole hour…er…hang on…oh bugger
It’s getting worser though with the “new” generation of drivers, if their wagon isn’t equipped with an auto 'box, they can’t drive it…

That second pic fits right in the category “oh bugger” moments
And that last pic…well, it certainly took some time to get anywhere with that lot I reckon…let alone tramping with them
I had to pick up some wide part of a CAT digger in Drulingen (67) destinated for the CAT works in Dortmund.
Took them lads some time before I actually could load, so just wondered around for a bit in the yard…
I think Bernard-Tracteurs had nothing to do with Camions Bernard. They were more probably a department of Bernard Moteurs, a manufacturer of small petrol engine built for farming, gardening and industrial applications. They were famous in France, and even had a factory in St-Satur, 15 kms from my house.
I think these two about the same event would have been appreciated:
Indeed! Even if, without the boring music, the sound of the engines would have been more appreciated.

Correct, I have a Bernard W2 engine from the 1940’s which came off of a Tarpen generator set. Bramlett Mowers of Thirsk fitted Bernard’s to their machines as well.
