The first part of a video recorded during April of 1994 showing many and various ex UK lorries going about their business in Malta and adjoining island Gozo. Once commonplace former British types including AEC, Albion, Leyland, Bedford, Ford, Scammell, Guy and Coles cranes are seen. The recording gets under way with one of the last mentioned suspended in mid air ... but still ticking over after having over-reached itself. There's a little sequence of an elderly Guy making a scene when asked to remove itself from a small muddy rut, in the end help is accepted from a small bulldozer. Half the trouble was that it's prop shaft to the rear drive axle had been removed making the once 6x4 into a 6x2.
Part two will follow shortly afterwards if this upload succeeds!
