@terryliv Thanks for your encouraging comments Terry, the Tank was not as difficult as you might think its on display at a traffic island on the road into Leyland where they were made in WWII, and its about 5 miles from my house;)
@peterlgrave Thanks for the comments Peter, Brief history:-
Tanks where built at Leyland Truck factory during the war producing 3,000 tanks & 10,000 tank engines, Tank production stopped at the end of the war, Leyland Trucks & Buses carried on manufacture until merged with Dutch firm DAF in the 1987, DAF folded in 1993 the Leyland workers used their redundancy money to buy the company and manufacture continued until in 1998.
The company was acquired by American firm PACCAR inc, all the workers who put their money into the business did very well out of it cash plus shares in the new company, they are still manufacturing trucks at the Leyland plant and it is still very successful,
