Hi Clive, the Humber was in bonnet deep water, the bow wave protecting the air intake: once they found the stump, the water went straight through the air intake, and as the truck was actually stuck for a couple of hours, that was enough time to fill everthing that could be filled.
This Humber is waiting for its long term restoration to be finished, and not surprisingly has a snorkel sitting on the bonnet, waiting to be fitted.
I believe that the purpose of the day was to find something that would stop the trucks. Job Done!

Rich.

Ah yes a sort of victory then

I've always felt that a road run was always the way to check out any problems in a vehicle, but a swim really sorts out the men from the boys
