Most of those drums must have been empty. There would have been some interesting ones among them.

Hi David,
That scene is typical of photos of his trucks in his book, A Son of the Red Centre. I seem to recollect he had the contract to collect the drums from military bases etc and bring them South. He designed the self tracking trailers too, using axles from military trailers (Carrier trailers I think).
This reminds me to read the book again.
cheers Richard
