Anyone know what Owens carry in these Bulkers with hazardous marking on them :question:

I don’t know what they carry but I can’t seem to get a photo of them. I took three last time I was down in Wales but none came out and during that trip my camera did some strange things including a double exposure which is the one and only time I have had that happen on a digital camera. The pictures of Owens tippers just came out as “camera cannot read file”. It is a bit worrying.

This was taken immediately after I tried to take one of Owens
