Derelict Hino ... and an album of old trucks

Steven Holmes in the UK is an avid photographer of old trucks and other historic items as indicated by this great photo of an old Hino eight-legger found in a Lye scrapyard in the Black Country. He has a Flickr account full of photos which is well worth visiting - http://www.flickr.com/photos/fryske/

From page 15 you'll find a great selection of the old Scammell fleet owned by the Harrisons. This is a famous and legendary collection and includes more than 20 Scammell Rigid 8s (supposed to be rare aren't they?!), one of which is the second prototype, and even a Foden S80 that has never been registered and has only ever driven around the yard.
