Sunbar ◊ 2009-03-07 21:50	Aveling-Barford Wheeled Loader I think... more investigation needed Aveling-Barford is now part of the Thomson group of companies (Wikipedia) but what it consisted of in the 1970s, I don't know. Aveling-Barford Loading Shovel range, 8 Models range from 1.0 cu metres to 4.8 cu metres. -- Last edit: 2009-03-07 22:07:43
Sunbar ◊ 2009-03-07 22:57	1970s Matchbox model of similar configuration... Although should be a Wheeled Loader or a Loading Shovel as they commonly called in the UK. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/d.jones7317/public_html/1index/gg43b.htm
