and a bull as well...

This probably belongs in "Freight Dogs" but early in 1974 I had a cattle charter from Manston using, I think, an Invicta Britannia. It was a night load and as the truck backed up we pushed the wooden barriers up to the loading ramp. One particularly big bull wanted nothing to do with this and charged our barrier and romped off away into the night.... and as it happened there was a loaded Vulcan parked nearby with an RAFP guard complete with alsation. The poor dog took one look at the charging bull and legged it and we all spent the rest of the night trying to find the damn bull- which ended up in a garden nearby.
