That last picture shows clearly the little window behind the driver Dave. The whole seat / dash could be swivelled round
to allow the dumper to be driven body first like the little building site dumpers but although I drove and maintained a
few I never saw one used like that. I got a rollocking off an Aveling Barford fitter once because I was welding the
body with the earth lead clamped on the chassis and he said it could arc through the ram and scar it.
They did actually have a smaller Aveling Barford dumper at Dolyhir quarry, which in those days was owned by Man-Abell,which had the two sets of steering wheels and peddles etc. It was strange to see the driver going along with the the steering wheel turning behind him. I will see if my source of these pics has one of that dumper David.
Cheers Dave.
