"Trucks: The Unsung Heroes of D-Day and Beyond" As the world held its breath on that fateful day, trucks became the lifeline for victory. At Preston Docks in Lancashire, they lined up like soldiers ready to pour ashore with vital supplies. Chichester Dairies lorries stood tall, their cargo destined to nourish both body and spirit. But it wasn't just about war; they were an integral part of everyday life too. In South Wales, a miner rode drams at Tirpentwys Colliery, his trusty truck carrying him deep into the heart of darkness. And at Gwaun Cae Gurwen incline in Carmarthenshire, another truck tirelessly transported coal from below ground to fuel the nation's progress. From Bestwood Village in Nottinghamshire to Wyndham Colliery in Ogmore Vale, South Wales – these trucks symbolized resilience and hard work. They carried hope on their wheels as communities relied on them for survival. Through time, trucks evolved alongside society's needs. A vintage Ford Truck from 1930 stands as a testament to innovation and durability. CM15 5880 Paul McCumisky's Volvo FM12 12000 roars down highways while Trevor Martin maneuvers his Scania Truck 11000 through challenging terrain. Even across borders and oceans, trucks continue to connect nations and bridge gaps between continents. Witness the Ship-to-Shore operations at Mombasa Harbour in Kenya – Africa's gateway to global trade. Container terminals buzz with activity as goods are efficiently loaded onto waiting trucks bound for distant destinations. And let us not forget those who transport liquid gold – oil tankers from Manchester Oil Refinery silently navigate treacherous waters ensuring energy reaches every corner of our modern world. Finally, we remember that iconic moment when bird's-eye view captured landing craft braving rough seas while barrage balloons danced above Normandy's shores.
