plant and C vehicles

[Les Freathy]

Hi Nick
Thanks for your most interesting comments nice to have someone in the same trade on board
Photo 1 here is a Parsons trencher, obviously not the one in Cliffs photo and the one that had me thinking on these lines. there is a similarity but your observations seem to fit better, the second shot is a rare item it is a Miles Asphalt plant in use in the ,i believe Sudan in the 1930s under army supervision with local labour.
Photo 3 is for you Nick not military but depicting some of your comments its late 1950s with Wimpeys side tip Fordson Thames
