PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

Freightroute have a depot in Irthlingborough just off the A45 near where Rushden and Diamonds football ground was. They also have a depot I believe in Poole? Grants bought out Aileys transport from the northants area, so given its pulling a FreightRoute trailer I would guess it’s from somewhere around the northants area, I also think I can remember them doing a lot of work for Weetabix at Burton Latimer near the A14.

I remember when I worked for a BMC dealership replacing some pistons on a HA van belonging to Hond and Langar, the local glaziers. It involved removing the front axle to gain access to the sump and I was laying underneath torquing the big ends up when the wrench slipped and my hand travelled along the crankshaft, removing two fingernails in the process. :roll: It hurt!

Yes that’s the one, we had at least one lorry a day down there, I used to run down quite a few Saturdays, we’d pick up a container of less hazardous waste from the incinerator plant and run that into a landfill site in the New Forest believe it or not! Can’t remember the name of it but we used to come off the M27 at Brook, turn right and it was around twenty minutes from there, tipped that and ran back to the incinerator plant, reloaded with more hazardous stuff and run out to just before the M27. There was a lay-by there with a hole in the hedge where you could squeeze through and go into the large Tesco’s for breakfast. Back home after that, nice earner on a Saturday! :wink:

About time we had some stuff on earth moving equipment and trucks.

Will be doing a bit about the building of a large flyover in Poole back in the early to mid 1970's.

Heres a bit on some earth moving equipment from 1958.

Check out the Thornycroft Big Ben dump truck,looks sweet.

Yes Dean, I knew the Mooney twins. We ony had a small concrete plant with normally just one truck at Ballidon quarry but when Carsington Water was under construction it was flat out and mixers came in from the Potteries and Buxton to assist so that pair were regulars for a while. We also delivered limestone chippings to the Potteries plants at Tunstall and Fenton and occasionally Crewe (although Roland Young's from Wales normally did that run) so encountered them there. One passed away a while ago, maybe both have by now?

One day I was sent to our tar plant for 20 tonnes of 40mm base course tarmac for Fenton plant, I assumed they were doing some work on the parking area so never queried it. When I got there the yardman told me to reverse up to the elevator hopper: "I've tarmac on you realise?" I said to him. He laughed 'yes of course you have lad' and I said "Yes, I really have!" :roll: . He went to undo the taildoor and I told him to feel the body: "Blimey, it's hot!!!" :shock: Upshot was that somebody had cocked the order up, it should have been 40 tonne of 20mm chippings. I eventually tipped it at a farm near Waterhouses where the farmer was a mate of the quarry manager at our Kevin quarry. :lol:

Great photos of the motorways back in the day, god do I wish it was like that nowadays. Used to love driving back then when you could actually stop for a break when you wanted to as opposed busting your arse to get to xxxx before the traffic builds up and thinking it’ll take me 3 hours to get to xxxx as opposed to know idea how long it will take now. So glad I was able to work in that era and enjoy it but also glad I’m retired from it now. I have health problems now and have to make hospital appointments at Papworth and Addenbrooks in Cambridge, just over 30 miles from my house, sometimes takes me 2 hours! How can anyone enjoy stop start from Eaton Socon all the way to Cambridge? I used to be able to get to Ipswich from Bedford in 2 hours!

Hi Dean i dont remember any artic cement tanker on RMC but the mandator looks to have south coast on the door i do remember a mandator artic tipper based in Ringwood but not very successful driven by Ivor White the cement tankers we had were operated from Southampton three eight wheelers that were sold out to Canute transport and the drivers only had a class two licence being Alan court(sooty). Brian thomas. and Les keith
