What are they carrying seems alot for crate of blocks!

Also talk me out of a green Goddess!!
It was a transformer, for a major electrical sub-station (about 120 tons, plus weight of modular trailer)

‘Green Goddess’
Have a look at the website of ‘L Jackson’
Military surplus vehicles, at Misson
It’s a very interesting location, as it was the Bloodhound ‘S-A’) missile base, that protected RAF Finningley, when it was a’V-Bomber’ base!
Jacksons still uses the missile launch pads to park stock on!

RAF Finningley being where ‘XH558’ is kept, & better known nowadays as Robin Hood Airport

I can't wait, but I am very NIMBY on this, bloody noisy things

Edit:- Just to add, that I would still prefer the airport than the 1800 houses they are wanting build there, they have taken huge handouts from the Government to get this operational which if they go bust & sell the land they don't have to pay back, so it's a win win for the venture capitalists again.

You don’t fancy a MAN 8x8 instead?

No too new the GG is pre 1960 so can drive on a normal lisence!🤣🤣🤣

A GG might pass muster on the drive!

Man8x8 wouldn't!

Btw is it allowed - a private HGV on the drive?!

Cannot see it being any different to an A class motorhome?!

In a covenant in our deeds, you cannot have a commercial vehicle, a caravan, a hedge more than 12 inches, an off license, a hotel, a brothel & a couple more I can't remember on our land.

But as the HGV would be registered as a PLG Private Light Goods it should be okay, we used to have our Ford D series horsebox on the drive.
 

All uphill

Still rolling along

Trucks are not my thing, but I saw this on a recent bike ride and remembered a time when rectangular headlights were sooo modern.
