Martin Wight handed over the 3 images shown below, on September 26th, which he reckons are all in the 1958-60 period, and from the background, all in Northampton.
We thought initially that the two scraper shots were the same machines from opposite sides, but then the "WIMPEY" on the swan neck, and, even in black & white, you can see that TS-24 B4LOT is darker, ie Wimpey orange.We think in fact that there are three scrapers lined up, and that they were taken on the same day.
So more Eucs from yesteryear…..one of George`s Finest first, parked up in the main yard next to the Water Tower, still in those days with it`s resplendant Euclid & Cummins logos on full display..
….then a shot from the other end, showing a TS-14 & another B4LOT in "going out" order…
….and lastly, what could be a new Euc L-20, fitted with the latest aircon, NO-ROPS, driver orientated "cab" !!
