The craic’s going wellalso thanks to gazsa401, Punchy Dan, Bewick, pv83, pyewacket947v, Froggy55 and Ray Smyth for the pics.
Bedford was the main tractor unit for Queen Marys but Commers were also used.
OilyAlso a few pulled by Crossleys. The Bedford-drawn one at East Kirkby had seats in the trailer and was giving rides to the public last time I was there. Don’t know whether it’s still there but there used to be a Queen Mary trailer used as a farmer’s bridge over Alconbury Brook, you could see it from the old A1. Front drawgear removed but wheels still on.
