AEC with Belgium cab 1969.0
Interesting, never seen that one before I think mate, Van Twist were an AEC dealer as well, hence the big AEC influence in their fleet at the time.
Not sure about what the article says about the detachable wheels, doesn’t look like it to me, but I might be wrong as usual…
Good info pv83. I’ve passed your comment onto the AEC Bollekens thread

Are trailers getting less wide Johnny? Thought the standard was 2.55 instead of 2.25…?

A real HH .
Staying on the Van Twist topic for a bit longer if I may, I found some footage that might be interesting to some.
Somewhere in the early beginnings of this thread I’ve posted a bit about Van Twist, as they were one of the pioneers in Dutch heavy haulage, and especially in the early days they used some interesting kit.

Am only quoting the company itself. I think they are stating they can handle wider loads if required to.

What a surprise to see that a Dutch heavy hauler had used an Unic Esterel!
