Thank you for this, Charlie. Major Packs have a small but dedicated following, so I'm sure this, and other Major Pack reviews will be appreciated.
I have moved this topic to a separate sub-forum. Please regard the name and location as temporary for the time being..

Thank you Charlie, I do like the Major packs and enjoy your excellent posts.

The BP Autotanker was one of the very few vehicles modeled by Lesney that was a concept vehicle, not a full production vehicle. Attached is one pic of the real one.

Charlie,
Really like the posts and the way they are organized. Pictures are excellent also!! I've enjoyed Major Packs for nearly 60 years.
Also, worked for BP for over 36 years......
Thanks much,
Bill
