In the middle of the picture you can just make out A.L.E's Scammell (Trident) This is the same machine pictured in McConnell Dowell's

yard at Samlesbury, by J3 of the M65 in 2001. I emailed A.L.E and they confirmed it was the same unit. (see bottom of Guests and

their trucks) It had been to Iraq to do a heavy move and was just returning to Dubai where it is now based. (Small world)
