Did you work with a guy called Gramham from birmingham who ran catering & crew buses for film sets ??
Hi,is that the one with the big 'Brakes' sign that jumps out of the dash on first starting, until the air pressure builds up? I also remember the 'Sarican'done a few miles in one of them. Stag on.

No , i worked for a company called 'Busters on Location' . It was owned by a nice chap called Peter.
They did a lot of big films ( Bond , The Mummy , Entrapment ) while i was there.
We were in Morocco for The Mummy.

It needed moving from one location to the next and somehow i ended up with the job. I'd never driven anything bigger than a Golf before that.
I knocked over a mini roundabout , and when i say knocked over i mean pulled it out of the ground , not drove over it.
My Moroccan 'fixer' just shouted 'Keep Going !!! Don't Stop !!! ' so i did.
Never heard anything more about it.
Do you have the use of it at weekends? must be a bit of a f+??y magnet.
Does a steam train count ?
Locos upwards of 70 tons , hauling 200 tons of cars behind ???
Once took a military 'HGV' test in Cyprus (Akrotiri '71-'74 since you ask), in a water tanker on an old bedford chassis with crash gearbox and half full of water. It felt like there were no tank baffles because of significant weight transfer and 'sloshing' sound when braking and accelerating (sort of). Not sure of weight, perhaps less than 10tons but a real handfull.
Have a look at post 17
Oh , I had seen it before I posted .
Guess we'll just have to wait for DRUK or someone else with a nautical background to come along and divulge the weight of their ships .
