That's a keeper looks like it may be out of commission but just looking at it you can see it's been a work horse for many years. I really like the cab configuration, makes me think that this was indeed a purpose built break down rig, rather than some kind of conversion of a truck. I really love...

Love the tow truck, need a in use pic perhaps rescuing a bus

I think the "spalling' you speak of is paint wear, looking at the long platform support beams are solid at the ends, if they were aluminium I would expect them to be open, the same can be said for the short support for the lower platform which goes through both uprights, The ladder seems to...

Wow I hope we are looking at a bus that's had some what of a clean up after the fire There is not a lot left, there must be a lot of fibre glass used I can not think of what else could burn and take the bus to the chassis The trolley looks like a self build affair narrow to go between the...

Where in Rubery was the terminus ? For trams. The reason I ask that's a tall brick wall.

How about some thing that was handed it at the tool stores

9/11 completely changed the course of my life I have been on the top floor of a tower the windows were tall and you could press your body right against them and look down, and it was a long long way. Anyone who has ever driven up the Jersey Turnpike knew to look for the towers off to the right...

I would have thought it would have a hole for hanging on a board if it was used as some kind of employee monintor. Some kind of ID to present in order to get a pay packet ?.

The whole cb thing was a very social thing many times I was amazed at the wide range of people who had them,. Keeping in mind my adventure at the time they were not legal and most of the time nothing of value wàs discussed. Just a bunch of folks jaw jacking to and from some watering hole. As to...

Lots of us had them before they were legal, we all would meet at a local pub also would hang out at a store called Deals on Wheels in Northfield then it moved onto the Pershore Road ?. Most of us were members of a car club. When we were driving and saw a cb whip we would call out "eyeball" on...
