1974 RAF St Athan for my HGV3
1976 At Army base South Cerney OHH the magic Roundabout in Swindon with the a trailer that was about 20ft long but it certainly made you good at reversing, when it came to pulling a “normal” trailer it was a lot easier, then went to the Royal Navy Exhibition team pulling a Queen Mary trailer around the country with an old Whirlwind helicopter on the back for exhibitions.
We were then given a new AEC Mandator to replace the old Bedford that was a cracking machine up and down the motorways shame the engine blew after 8000 miles.

Reading all these posts can somebody confirm if your actually meant to take an additional test to drive an HGV , if so ooops no one told me. I got my HGV licence out of a grabber machine on skeggy sea front. Didn’t mind to much but I really wanted the big sponge bob so I considered it a consolation prize.
