Hi “Joeshell” ,
Thanks for the feedback on the Scammell photograph I put on here.
You have beaten “Tankerjack” to supply the missing details.

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Here is a photo that I am not aware of the location , can anyone identify the area where this Installation is ?. tankerjack.

Kings Lynn? only went once,■■

Hello Joeshell , I am afraid its not Kings Lynn , I have a photo of that depot somewhere I shall try and find it and show it to you.

Here is Kings Lynn fuel depot , I would say the late 1950`s.

Here is another angle of the depot at Kings Lynn.

A photo of a group of road tankers in a Cafe , does anyone recognise the transport café ?.

Cafe scene same location as the above transport Cafe.

Here is a AEC Mk3 with the tin plate front , I am in the process of making a 1/76th model , the model comes from the Langley scale model company , I shall try and make a few alterations and additions to the model.

Not the best of clear photos , this is Kingsbury oil terminal in the late 60s to early 70s.
