It is a Douglas Harry, like the dockspotters and aircraft shunters.

Priestman Brothers were a big influence on my life as a kid. I was fortunate to later go round the factory of them and Ruston Bucyrus in Lincoln.

Wheelnut;Used to see them lumbering around but never had much to do with them -all a mystery to me…if they had nights out,how much they got paid ,etc; but at the time I was up to my neck in general haulage,roping-sheeting,getting rained on, to have time to talk to the drivers. Looks like those chassis could twist v.easily on rough terrain?
