Thanks Steve, the JCB leaflets are interesting with the prices written on. I am guessing 1966/67? Quite expensive pieces of kit in someways.

Wouldn't want to put the TK on the scales.
There's some youtube film of a Bedford RL at an Avon-Dasset play day. It's easy to forget how capable they are off road.

If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

Nice early Ford powered 580C there in the first photo and yes the TK does look rather well loaded.

The Foden crane carrier with the Smith Rodley crane looks a beast and a half.

The Leyland Octopus was reintroduced in that era, from what I have read. BL used the updated high datum cab which for some reason AEC were not given access to for their 8 wheeler Mamoth Major. Apparently the 500 series "headless" engines were an unmitigated disaster for Leyland.
