Thanks for the “gen” “smallcoal”,not being nosey like it’s just that I was involved with derv tanks of varying (always bigger) sizes all my time in the industry and obviously they all have to have 110% bunds around them nowadays to conform to the enviromental requirements.Cheers Dennis.

Thanks Smallcoal for posting the Walters photo courtesy of Ron,I remember that day very well ,I had a Challenger tank on from Castlemartin to Tidworth ,It was on a Sunday and had a problem with the Hydraulic Suspension and got as far as Cardiff West Services when it was decided to off load the tank and i went to get a bigger trailer,But in the meantime the squaddies were giving a free demonstation in the lorry park as what the tank could do. I’m sure half of Cardiff were there watching them.
