Hi Les,

With a Lorain Moto-Crane on the left. I wonder if this was an ex-RAF crane. The company I did my appenticeship with, used to overhaul Lorain cranes for the Air Ministry.........before my time there though.

Hi Richard

Woofendens ran a sizable fleet of Thew cranes many were bought from US military sales at Burtonwood, they even went to the states to purchse some as well. The company were prolific in buying and selling ex military vehicles and even serviced and returned vehicles to the states for the US Military. I have a number of photos of the cranes and other ex army and airforce equipment, attached is a image of a Thew in US army i hope

Yahoo it worked, makes a change for me as it always goes tits up, one thing i note the image is a thumbnail and when you click to enlarge its not much bigger. Is this to conserve space or do i ineed to click on a different source in the chart provided

Hi Les:

I think when you click on the thumbnail it comes up the same size as the source you sent it from if that makes sense.

In other words if your photo was 300x200 instead of 600x300, that it what is going to come up when you hit the thumbnail. I haven't figured how to make them any larger yet.
On the same subject, I think Jif is trying to get thumbnails to appear instead of the text line for all photos prior to today.

Found this one by accident.

An Autocar that ended up in India after the war.
Possibly a Burma Road survivor??

No idea about he blower truck, but the second image is a Mack NM6 (ish) which has had a hard cab and dump body added, and the third image is an NO2 with breakdown equipment.
