You won't see much cooler than this tonight.sound up 😎
Warning druid ....you might want blood pressure tablets 😂😂
but he's carrying zero weight on the MB ... which has air braking for the trailer and is travelling at a sensible speed .. and is obviously not going to have to tackle many seeerious hills with 180 on tap (but the MB does have a serious selection of gears, assuming he could maintain sufficient traction to put the power down) :giggle:;)
not in the UK so is probably allowed where he is - guessing Germany .... Merc motor pulling well :giggle::love:

Well up against headboard he's restrained 100% movement forward just needs 50% side to side and backwards in the eyes of dvsa it's secure axle weights how ever is another thing

and not just axle weights ... nose weight is an even bigger issue -- IIRC 3t is the max permissible load on the eye coupling/tractor hitch

The story behind this event is quite interesting and is explained by Brian Shul in his book Sled Driver.
“I was flying the SR-71 out of RAF Mildenhall, England, with my back-seater, Walt Watson; we were returning from a mission over Europe and the Iron Curtain when we received a radio transmission from home base. As we scooted across Denmark in three minutes, we learned that a small RAF base in the English countryside had requested an SR-71 fly-past. The air cadet commander there was a former Blackbird pilot, and thought it would be a motivating moment for the young lads to see the mighty SR-71 perform a low approach. No problem, we were happy to do it. After a quick aerial refuelling over the North Sea, we proceeded to find the small airfield.
Walter had a myriad of sophisticated navigation equipment in the back seat, and began to vector me toward the field. Descending to subsonic speeds, we found ourselves over a densely wooded area in a slight haze. Like most former WWII British airfields, the one we were looking for had a small tower and little surrounding infrastructure. Walter told me we were close and that I should be able to see the field, but I saw nothing. Nothing but trees as far as I could see in the haze. We got a little lower, and I pulled the throttles back from 325 knots we were at. With the gear up, anything under 275 was just uncomfortable. Walt said we were practically over the field-yet; there was nothing in my windscreen. I banked the jet and started a gentle circling maneuver in hopes of picking up anything that looked like a field.

THAT'S HALF THE STORY!!! From memory while searching for the field the speed got a bit low and so Shul aborted and chucked on the afterburners... right over the field. The guys on the ground said it was the best flyby ever!
🙂
You're welcome!
