Some TRUCK's per request ...

Sorry for the planes being in the photos. It's all I had :wink:
And I'm no help with the vehicle types either. A little before my time.

The truck in the bottom photo is American...(possibly Canadian).
Odd for it to be in the UK, or was the photo of the Napier taken here?
If so, why was it here?

The pick-up under the SNJ looks like a Ford.

The fuel truck pulling the Zero is an Isuzu.

The Truck pulling the P-39 on the trailer is a Brockway.

Nope - '47-'50 Chevy. IIRC the driver was killed. :(
