I sharpened the picture up and managed to read the owners name George Jenkins Transport I.O.W</div> <div> I fired an email off to them and received a reply stating that the Antar was loaded at the Military Museum on the I.O.W and was heading for Appleby, they gave me a number for David at the</div> <div> museum and he gave me the number of Paul at Rusty Trucks the Antar's destination. I rang Paul and had an interesting talk on everything to do with old lorries and restoration. He told me he</div> <div> is restoring two Thornycroft Antars for Jerry Burley, Jerry contacted me via this website a few years ago he is a heavy haulier in Africa. He was looking to purchase two MK3 Antars,  They run a fleet </div> <div> of extreme haulage (STGO Cat 3)road haulage trucks and a couple of off-road Oshkosh M911 units pulling M747trailers to move their 80 tonne Grove RT cranes and big dozers around western Uganda </div> <div> on the volatile Congo border along appalling roads through the Lake Albert oilfields. They would like to find one, (or possibly two as they intend for them to be used occasionally for pulling a specialist</div> <div> 120 tonne lowbed ballast trailerwe are currently having made in China),  These would though predominately be  used as an advert (in the capital city Kampala) for their services rather than as regular, </div> <div> every day haulage, for obvious reasons.   To take a look at Paul's Rusty Trucks Site  follow this link      <A HREF="http://rustytrucks.tripod.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://rustytrucks.tripod.com/"><U>http://rustytrucks.tripod.com/</U></A>  </div> <div> <IMG SRC="a9350c00.jpg" border=0 width="1360" height="704" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
