Strange convoy m42 today

Just curious as I have not seen anything like this before a large convoy of police bikes and plain white vans with blue flashing lights seemed to be escorting 3 or 4 American type large vans on uk plates with huge bull bars all of these were black and towing black trailers. Never seen anything like it before

They were heading northbound at about 12:00 today did anyone else see it?

If they were Yanks, it was probably the smokies on I42 waiting for the Rubber Duck to show up with his rattling piece of crap at his side door. C’mon.

Ken.

They passed me aswell but no idea what it was all about.

Something Military I would say.

Either Military or Nuclear, but I doubt Nuclear stuff would be carried that loosely.

I will ask my police and military colleuges.

It was the A team :wink: But thay have now escaped the armed convoy that was taking them back to the maximum security stockaid earlier today :laughing: Don’t know where thay are now thow :sunglasses:

Looks like a filming rig to me, they aren’t military plates either.

Good spot.

Interesting that it’s right hand drive and the trailer looks like a UK made boat trailer. Can only assume the massive bull bar and winch have been fitted based on some potential scenario too.

Its life jim but not as we know it. If im correct certain police forces have got similar vehicles to these to deal terrorist incidents.i will try and find the link.

They have similar up at Gatwick airport or it could be American military. Not sure why they’d need a police ■■■■■■ though.

Iit’s obviously a huge king size bed, look, you can see the pillows?

UK plates, RHD and bullet proof glass, definitely the heavy mob…

I think it was a better/stronger/beafier version of one of these…

In fact more like this one…

They used those during the London riots,
Both police and military have versions of them. I even saw one pulling a climbing wall on a army recruitment scheme once. Perfect vehicle for it really

Oh and nuclear convoys are usually one block Matt green colour and would avoid being so noticeable
