Ah, first you make us drool . . . and then you make us cry by telling us they have all been scrapped by now?!?!

Some rare trucks there, the late "straight back" FAT and F60T plus trailer.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Default But what's really unusual...

Is to see so many uncut, unmodified vehicles - original bodies, and as Hanno points out some rare ones there too. Those FATs are amazing, as are the F15/F15As.
Very sad to see that 15cwt body being choked with the cable.

So what's the count? Looks like at least 3 of the late pattern FGTs, one earlier one, 3 or 4 15cwts, F60T and trailer, GMCs, Mog, Dodge ambulance, Half track... so please... tell us their fate...

Photos taken two years ago, have you been back and are there any vehicles left, or maybe you can advise if there are any other similar yards in your neighbourhood. When I saw the fantastic photos I was like a kid in a lolly shop. Boy if that was in Australia there would be some border raids in planning as we speak.

Sad to see history going down the drain.

Cheers

Tony
