Post WW1 Bussing merged with Faun and ran as Faun Bussing in the 70s they were taken over by MAN,
I drove a Faun 6 wheel 28 tonne aircraft refueller for a while at RAF Wildenrath,
Straight 8 with a 13 speed constant mesh gearbox on 6 super single wheels and tyres,
Air everything steering, brakes , suspension,It maxed out at 80
kph although if you could get 50 kph out of it when running fully loaded at 28tonnes you were doing well but with 20 tonnes of 160 octane avgas 5 feet behind me I never did try rushing anywhere with it. :lolno:
Had a brake failure when running down to a squadron, :thumbdown:
The brakes locked and I slid forward into the rim of the steering wheel. ,Thought I was dead, All my breath gone, Taken to the sick bay and had my ribs strapped up,
Fond memories :haha: :haha:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
