Fantastic history and I was reminded of Hands Trailers of Letchworth

Thanks again Dean
I remember using that tanker it had a single baffle and was 2000 gallon in front and 3000 behind
You had to load half and half which created a lot of slop
Not easy as overweight on drive axle or overweight on back end

S registration in that format would be 1977/78

I ran an S reg Saviem 280
