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.
