Added 24/03/10 - This must be the earliest dumper photo we have courtesy of David C. Note the earlier logo on the bonnet and the registration plate dating it to the 1950's. I think this dumper was made so you could drive in either direction?

Added 12/04/10 - The bi-directional dumper filling what looks like foundations for new houses. Thanks to David C.

What an amazing contraption. A dumper based crane pictured outside the Johnson Machinery Ltd factory. The Mark II Cortina is H registration so picture probably dates from early 1970's
