This thread has got off to a good start but there must be plenty more out there to be included, here are a couple more preserved Diamond T 969 wreckers the first if my memory serves me right is at Duxford it must have been at least 15 years ago. The second is at one of the very early IMPS rallies then held at the steam railway at Tenterden in Kent, Richard will remember these days i was on the committe then and trying to get that lot to form up for the arena was a nightmare. The venue was set on steep slopes with a vally in the centre so you could observe what all the others were up to without moving, all good fun though

One of our posters here at MLU is CWO Bill Mulholland...A.K.A..Uncle BILL ,Willy,and "Hey You"(By his good woman...)..
Bill knows more about Diamond "T"'s than anyone else in the Universe,including Newfoundland...
Bill has his own ,fully restored working model DT wrecker sitting in his shop at home in Beautiful down town Burton ,New Brunswick..
He has posted a few pictures of it before on MLU but he would be the ideal guy to get to do a magazine article for your mag...
He is a pretty humble guy so you may have to beg...
But he knows his DT's...
