Using that crane must be a work of art, it looks like it was designed for middle east oil field work. I guess the rear wheels track in under the frame for transport.
Good to see the 'Ministry Of Silly Walks' in attendance.

If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

I bet you would have known you done a shift on that Foden!
Any idea of the make of loading shovel in the 2nd photo. It looks massive for the era.

I do not think Fodens sold many of them dump trucks , seen very few in action with companies.
Matchbox sold shed loads of them though !
The loader is a Michigan 475 , one used to prowl the river side industrial estate roads where I worked . The owner Able UK had two seperate oil rig dismantling yards on the estate.
Cars used to get out of the way , it took up both sides !

The photo don't dig it there, not a single piece of barrier or warning to be seen! The cars could place the photo mid 60s but the excavator looks more modern?
