When it comes to transporting animals of the large, four-legged variety, they don't come much smarter than Eric Gillie's Scanias - just ask Her Maj The Queen, if you're in any doubt. We've been lining up Eric's son Mick for a T&D feature for absolutely ages. Rain, hail and biblical amounts of snow put paid to any bright ideas for the back end of 2009 and start of 2010, but all good things really do come to those who wait - especially on this occasion. It's a fantastic looking truck to photograph, with heaps of shinny bits and an interior living space to die for.
It seemed like the perfect location to shoot a Kelso-based Scania horsebox. With the local racecourse just minutes down the road, we'd asked Mick to try and swing it with the venue's top brass. But we all got quite a surprise when we rocked up to find the contact meant we could not only shoot at the racecourse, but actually ON the racecourse; luckily the going wasn't at all soft!
