Lovely shot of a low-loader at Hilton Park services of a summer evening, but what's inside? Well checking out the shape, my guess is a jet engine being shuttled from an airport down South to Manchester or farther afield?
The largest ever robbery in the UK, I think, will have taken place at Heathrow when a gang entered a compound and intent on something else, spotted a pallet of gold bullion. It had not, as I recall, been able to fit through the door... something that I find endearingly British in a Keystone Cops sort of way.
But while I plied my trade as a heroic captain thereabouts, someone actually drove something like this airside and with accomplices, forklifted one such onto the flatbed and was never seen again. British Airways ~ bailed out as ever by our good selves ~ barely gave a fuck.
But stripped for spares, my guess is there'd be a value on a par with that of the bullion.
Ed. Police are searching for a man photographing a truck on the M6 before coshing its driver.
