AEC/HCB Angus ET Sheffield FB NWJ578K
1970 photo by N Tarling. Was this the first British appliance fitted with a Hiab crane - for motorway work on the M1 round Sheffield. NWJ was the forerunner of many modern vehicles of this type. I have an excellent model handmade for me many years ago based on the Dinky AEC - see Marcel's transport models site here picture 1049.

I have just remembered when this left service it went to the McCormick recovery form's yard in Eastleigh, Hampshire where it was preserved I think and went to rallies.

It looks remarkably modern, except for the slam lockers and the odd full height door...

I bought it from John McCormick minus the Hiab and then, due to a misunderstanding with a farmer at Bishopstoke, it got broken up and I wasn't very impressed! My language could not be repeated here!
