Hi everyone,
I couldn't resist, seems like these images could do with a caption ot two...

Cheers,

Would anyone care to provide me with any information on the larger vehicle ? It'll save me ploughing through the reference books.

"I think we can salvage that horn... sure to be rare some day..."

Notice how someone has already had a go at dragging it out - you can see the neat wheel-shaped trench it's scooped out.
