Photo shows a Vickers Vigor at S E Davies, a fleet of these machines were used to construct the M1.The have a good turn of speed but I think they had transmission problems that were never realy overcome, so the more popular Caterpillar machines dominated the road building plant. The Vigor's looked very striking in their blue livery.Glad that some working examples have been saved for us all to see.
