Similar to but not identical to - Foden S20 Super Pluto Aircraft Refueller Carrimore Ltd /vehicle_1388708-Foden-S20-1958.html But actually this is probably more a Python than a Pluto ( lots of Python pics on net but all have high roof cabs ) from CM archive :-''The Python differs from the earlier Plutos and Super Plutos, also used by Esso at London Airport, in having all the pumping gear on the tractor. A special turntable has been designed in which the fuel pipes pass through a hollow-centre turntable section permanently attached to the semi-trailer. This upper turntable has a king-pin engaging in the Davis Magnet 111th wheel of the tractor, but no rotation takes place at this joint.'' -- Last edit: 2020-09-07 06:51:14 |
