    Fabulous coachwork, I wonder who the builder was and what make of wagon chassis was used?

    The Burton Mail ran a piece recently when they were trying to trace these advertising vehicles including TOM 888 - check out www.burtonmail.co.uk/Search-continues-iconic-bottle-vehic...

    A right old mix that thing! I've always wondered what came of vehicles like these too.
  • Peter said:
    Well the front wings look like Land Rover but the rest. .. Wonder if you got more than 3d for returning the bottle!

    This must be for a King George V-class battleship, the only British battleships in World War II to mount quadruple turrets.
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    Thanks Iain. Strangely enough my colleague, Colin, said exactly the same thing just moments before your comment arrived.
  • optimal chicken said:
    It's massive - look where the barrel fits in and a man is stood there..
  • Billy Embleton said:
    Its one of King George V's turrets which was lead ship of the class that was built at Walker Naval yard (below). Mounting 10 of these 14 inch guns. These quadruple mounts were very complex.

    These very guns contributed to the sinking of the KMS Bismark in May 1941.
