GCY 802N Atkinson Defender - a photo on Flickriver

            Yes, really, a Defender! John Killingbeck rebuilt this 8-legger into a 38T tractor unit in the mid-1980s, and it became one of the few to escape intact after completing its service with Killingbeck, being rebuilt for further service with John Jardine of Wishaw.

John's motors were always turned out to a very high standard, although this one didn't last very long with him, and was replaced by a Borderer converted for 38T operation with the addition of a tag axle and a Cummins 320 engine.

I took this photo at the Cheshire Steam Fair at Grappenhall, and where there was a factory-supported Seddon Atkinson gathering for many years.  John Jardine was a regular attendee
