Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)

Hi All

The little David Brown under the sheet is a thrasherman as it has a belt pulley on the front.
These were used for towing the thrasing sets & driving them as steam started to take a back seat.
I think they were derived from the aircraft tugs.

Cheers

Rich

Long wheelbase to haul hay FB 86.

The Portuguese use those for cork transport as well.
They used to put the load on wider and longer as it rises. Must have been easily over width at the top of the load.

Spanish site with a North African truck, but…!

Please pardon my ignorance, but is that not an F88 or F89 model?.
It’s a 6×2, but can’t tell if it has a lift axle or not. Quite a few Volvo 6×2 didn’t have a lift axle, and you didn’t want to go off the hard road with them.

Oops, just gone back through the thread and read the previous posts.
(Fools rush in etc).
Interesting vehicle.

Ex Redlands ■■? Is that the rrrs end of a Capri behind ?

Not sure about the car, but I think that Griffith got these half cabs new, and that they were supplied by Beaverbank at Broxburn.

This is the A19 looking North to Testos roundabout. There are major roadworks at this location. This shot was taken at 0900 yesterday,(monday) normally the queque there takes about 20mins to cross the junction. All due to “the virus”.

Here is a nostalgic snap!

Thanks to 5thwheel for the pic I’m thinking the load is cork sheet and a fair chance at Nairn’s Linoeum factory in Kirkcaldy. I can remember the cork boats unloading at the harbour in the 50s.

A 1932 Leyland Llama, thanks to Tudor Barker, I read somewhere that the running gear is a passenger chassis.
