They're not for sale of course, but full marks to the owners for saving them.
Do you think they would notice it missing if you grabbed it and dropped it off at my place on the way back home Keith

How did you go being back behind the wheel ?

A) The excess baggage may be a problem with Jetstar.

B) Bloody thing wouldn't start and they had parked a Mack in front of it.

Fantastic pictures Keith....

What was attached to the gun tractor? (possibly a gun methinks duh!)

Is there a younger version of the driver in any previous photo?

The one with me in it is of course a sigvan, but I thought you may have been interested to see the cab 12 FGT. It was attached to a limber and 25-pdr as it should be. Wouldn't you love to have that little ensemble.

I don't think I have a younger pic of me in the vehicle but may have one of the friend who's dad owned it at the time.
