Thanks for the photos Solomorris. I was particularly interested in the articulated bus. I have not seen another one before, except for the Whites in Victoria Australia.

Brilliant photos - nice to see a locally-bodied E83W pickup in the line-up, surrounded by two aircraft

I think the second aircraft is probably a Beechcraft Bonanza Model 35.
What is the front one?

I was thinking Bonanza for the 2nd aircraft but wanted to check my dates before putting my foot in it Smile I had a Dinky one as a nipper.

Dane, the Dutch railways used a large fleet of similar vehicles,drawn initially by ex-us army tractor units.this was just after wwII,when there was very little left of the dutch public transport system.They survived until well into the 50's,later drawn by Crossley or dutch Kromhout units.
This type of vehicle was also used for many years in Cuba,and some other places around south america.

Camellos were still being used in Cuba about three year ago.
My Nephew and family were over there for holiday and took some photos of them.
They look a bit tired now though.

Thanks Poodge and Roger. The only ones that I have seen in person are these- now unfortunately long disappeared. IIRC there were only four of them.
