Cool picture, but I have a question.

The fridge unit, the seagulls and the proximity to a boat suggests this trailer is carrying fish. My question is: Why is it tilted for emptying? Is it because the fish are loaded in bulk into the trailer?

Bulk yes,but it is actually loaded with British pig skins and other pig parts which was at this factory in Gent Belgium turned into gelatine.
Dumped on the floor by conveyor,tipped out by tilting and washed out with a rather powerful hose.
Good job this one,least the seagulls were appreciative.

Any chance 'the Boss' could email me a copy of that pic of J981 BYA? My dad runs the truck now and it'd be good to add another photo to the collection. [still have the one you sent me of it next to your Jag, Peter]
