    Hi Ted,

    They are tractors for 10 ton trailers. H signifies the census letter prefix for, according to Barts' Historic Miltary Vehicles Directory, Tractors ( inc Breakdowns ) and as far as I know trailers were always X followed by the census number.
    Only problem I have is finding 10 ton trailer numbers. I don't think that they were Dysons.
    Any thoughts?

    cheers

    Tom thanks for today's diary extract,

    Kevin I knew today was a bad day yes I missed the H Duhh and it gets worse DWP didn't pay Mrs A's pension into the bank !!
    Is it possible that the 10 ton is a typo somewhere along the line I have had a good dig and cannot find a 10 ton that would be associated with either the 980 or 981 ??
