(444), London Brick, ex brick lorry moved onto yard use, thus the "W" Flt No., (W 122), lobbing on the wall.
Another of Gallen's Foden tippers. This time a 1973 London registered eight wheeler seen doing duty in Colliers Wood High Street in 1979.
This reminds me of my favorite scene from the Bollywood movie Three Idiots...
"First day of college, you asked me why didn't astronauts use a pencil in space?"
"If a pencil tip breaks, it'd float on zero gravity; get into the eyes, nose, instruments.

Every year we made our pilgrimage to Tipcon, the "Tipper Show" at Harrogate. I was still a relative novice with a camera, with the lighting inside causing me lots of problems. The photos aren't very good but there are some interesting motors here so I thought I'd give them a quick scan, I probably have some more equally bad ones in the archive.
