F2Andy Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just read this on Wiki: The tank container concept was also employed in Europe by Bob Fossey, an engineer who worked for Williams Fairclough in London. They improved on the 1950s framed American elliptical container tanks, oft noted carrying specified USA engine oils for the UK’s MoD aircraft built in Preston, Lancashire. Does anyone know anything about this? I guess it may not even have been on train; there are two BAE sites near Preston, Warton and Salmesbury, and I am not aware of a rail link to either. Or was it tanktainers because it was brought part way by rail, then by road? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
