When I was younger there was a place near us that had many Military vehicles in various states of decay. I never really got inside to look round but I know of others who did. The site was cleared years back now so I presume it all went for scrap. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Whatever happened to the military equipment dealer who used to reside off the A38 [when it was a proper road!]..near Alrewas?
Often used to see huge [8 wheels or more] ex-communist bloc [missile launchers?] parked next to the boundary fence.....
Mind, this was years ago, very last century... _________________ Dellow Mk2, 1951 built, reg 1952.

I went to University in Pontypridd and lived a little way from the campus. Everyday we walked past a proper old commercial scrapyard which was teeming with old stuff. I recall many mornings walking round the corner to see a lowloader with army trucks loaded up on the back. The yard also had many municipal vehicles which would be unusual on the show scene now. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |
