teeteringhead.....I think you're right. That's the number I remember.....infact, I "stumbled" upon one. I rounded a bend one dark night in an 8 ton Bedford TM, to be confronted by a scene that could have been from a movie! Lighting rigs everywhere....flashing strobes and a tanker of some description being lifted from a river.....but I think I'm right in saying you had some involvement or you just remember the event......apologies if I've got that wrong? Aside from terrible events like that, of which there were too many, they were in many respects heady days. Apologies also for drifting off a little.
