Top photo at Amberley is also a PD2 Titan, though with the 'traditional' exposed radiator.

Must try and visit this place, it looks very interesting :y
Gettin' seriously hacked-off by those who ignore the wisdom of proven experience ... and Forum guidelines.

Hoveringham is a small village in Nottinghamshire
"Gravel extraction was started in this area in 1939, by the Hoveringham Gravel company, which was taken over in 1982 by Tarmac. The Hoveringham Gravel Company used to have a Mammoth as their logo on their lorries as a celebration of the finding of mammoth remains in their workings.
Spot on Peaches :y

I thought EVERYONE had heard of the Gurnos.
Apparently not. Not a nice place to live at all. Well it was not in the early eighties, I think it has been cleaned up a tremendous amount of late. I know for an old Javelin in a garage there, well it was about 5 years ago.

I don't think so but it's a popular tourist area. There'll be a camp site not far away, I'm sure.
