Congratulations on 700 pages Oily. Been given this photo from a mate it was his first proper HGV job. Pearson’s were a construction company and based at Middlesbrough and photo was taken in 1975 with a Priestman Mustang on the back ready to go up to the construction site at Kielder water.0
Thanks jshepguis

Denby & Stan Robinson!
There was a number of companies that were given permission to carry out feasibility tests of the so called ‘Double Bottom’ outfits on British roads in 1976 for a short time, although they had to be no longer than the 18m limit. Whitworths Foods and HH Robertson of Ellesmere Port being two. Trials had been carried out from 1967-1972, some using military test tracks in Surrey. In these tests though only two trailers were used unlike the three in the photo shown, history also shows it all came to nothing! Franky.
Congrats on 700 pages I’ve had lots of happy reading here long may it continue cheers Ray

Congratulations on reaching 700 pages Oily, well done! 
That was Rynart’s roadtrain Buzzer, they used to run like that in Russia in the late 80s, early 90s. No permits for that length needed, just greasing the right palms I reckon…

Just a question mate did they use a 6 wheeled double drive tractor or one as in the picture, especially for conditions in Russia, cheers Buzzer.
SUPER DUPER !! Cheers Coomsey
Its a Volvo WG produced for North America and possibly Mexico, it came in many axle layouts, Tractors, Dumpers, Tankers etc. Predecessor to the more aerodynamic VN but still available when the VN was introduced. Franky.

What a great thread this has been. Thanks Oily.
“OH TO BE A TYRE FITTER ON A RIG LIKE THAT.” My eldest son was a tyre fitter mostly on B doubles. Even going round torquing wheel nuts and checking pressures took ages and when it came to changing all or nearly all of 'em, he’d come home knackered because he was out in a small truck doing it all on his own.
