Default Vehicle transfer?
A question inspired by GGA's Vehicle and Sign Transfer album.
Snapped these two photos the other week whilst travelling home up the M6.
Can anyone identify which Unit/Regiment.
Thanks Tony.

My eye fell on the trailer. It says NOOTEBOOM, which is a typicaly Dutch family name (means: nut tree, it is now spelled: noteboom, but as usual the family name did not change it's older way of spelling).

I used Google and indeed it seems to be a Netherlands based, but international, builder of all sorts of transport vehicles.

Nice Pics.

And apparently not available for export... Too bad, as similar machines fetch up to $70,000 for oilfield/muskeg work out here.

I find that hard to believe with a "Leavesley International" name, if you are serious I'd just get in touch with them.

From their site:
"Recent examples of equipment supply include refurbished ex Military Land Rover Defenders, refurbished Terex Bull Dozers for the Sierra Leone Armed forces, modified MAN trucks used to fulfil Oil spill response work on the oil pipeline in Georgia and Azerbaijan."

Rgds,

Thomas.
