I’ve not been any to post anything for the last few weeks as I couldn’t log on - It just kept taking me round in circles back to the log in page but seems o.k. again now :thumbup:

The Bedford is an MJ as it's a late 4x4, probably one of the last made for civilian use too as the plant closed in '87

Yes of course, the truck is 4wd.

It is definitely a Smalley mini excavator.

Is the top picture UMO Plant of Letchworth ?
Cars may be foreign though.

Interesting M-H loader. Were they available new outside the military? If not, the context of the photo (railway station?) would suggest that must be a fairly early demob.
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

Love the 7th shot down with the "Beware Tramp" sign that somebody has erected by the traffic signal warning sign :lol: The Gloucester demo job looks like a 'handball' job, no machinery taking that down? (man in the 4th pic down) Nice one Steve :claphands: :wave:

Had a squint at the Wessex Water sign, didn't notice the additional 'T'! Nowadays there would be a graffitied 'U' in there as well.
