Nuclear weapons convoy photos

July 2010

A programme to replace the trucks was approved in 2007 and the new trucks were scheduled to be in service by the end of October 2010. The vehicles were ordered on behalf of MoD by AWE plc, which holds the contract for maintaining and operating convoy vehicles. The new trucks were seen on the road for the first time in July 2010 when a warhead convoy travelled from Burghfield to Scotland.
