I thought it was a 690 when I first looked...but not so sure now

Interesting looking RB's in the background.

I think that's an SN series dumper. The 690 was the ex-AEC Dumptruk, which had three axles.

The blue wagon in the background is another converted to a water bowser.

They were popular with bigger construction and opencast projects in their day, and famed for replacing Russian dumptrucks on the Aswan Dam project in Egypt.

Solid mounted rear Kirkstall axle. Ouch!

Is this is in the Vintage Excavator Trust at Therkeld?

IBH,

OK, in that case I've got pics of that truck when it arrived there - if I can find them I'll post them along with some other AB pics.

SY 7 on ball clay work for WBB. One of a fleet of six bought at the same time.

Looks like a Priestman Lion/Tiger dragline doing the necessary:
