If it stops when you pull the handbrake I would say its something inside the drums, pull them off and have a look see.

Thanks both----but there doesn't seem to be a problem with the brakes that was the first thing we checked.

Sounds like the rear brakes are binding, as they bind they build up more heat and the drum expands. This creates the vibrations as the affected brake is virtually on when it expands the drum.

Is the vehicle seeming to lose power, and is a wheel much hotter than the others, all give aways to such a problem.

Slacken off the back brakes slightly and see if this cures it.
