For those who had their engines on their transporters ,you could have taken the tarp's off so the public could have seen them.















Should've clarified there sorry Any details on the bottom engine here, with the second tank ahead of the belly tank?

It's a Fowler BAA single.
Owned by Richard Vernon I believe.
I also think it was originally exported to either Australia or South Africa, can't remember which.

Hi, Mrs Cloggs here, our trailer is made by Miles Nunn Ltd of Andover.

This is our second season with the trailer, I have to admit it works well for our needs, easy to load for the roller and our old Aveling although looking at it in the garden all year round may not be my first choice.

Came as a standard trailer for forklift truck movement, hence the sliding roof, although this has been replaced with a new one, and we have done the usual shot blasting, painting and repairs to get it up to spec.

Certainly a good idea in the wet !!!
