Hi Lang,
As a kid in 50's and 60's, the circus lorries interested me more than the show itself, nearly all ex-WD at that time. The circus in UK has changed now as it is more acts than animals.
A friend of mine ran a circus, started by his father, he stopped running it some years back, but has some great stories to tell. He has now got into military vehicles and enjoys his Bedford MJ 4x4, bringing it to rallies.
The bigger circus over here, like Billy Smarts and Chipperfields ran WW2 Macks as well as other makes.

regards, Richard
