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

Freightliner.What would you call that a "B train" ??

Square grip Eastleigh was the main "bending station" straight bars in. Used students a lot, as once you set up the jig it was just repetative stuff but quite physical work. Had a few Volvo's though. Harvey.

Square Grip Seddon Atkinson. Not had one of this companies on here before,anyone know where they were based ?

good evening all, brings back memories this picture. Square Grip (Eastleigh) is where I started HGV driving and this vehicle is being driven by my lorry driving mentor and good friend Roy Raggett. (RIP)
whilst I was there we also had a Volvo F86 and I had a day cab F7, the Sed-Ak in photo was eventually replaced by a ERF C-series. I left in 1984 and joined Clapcotts, Roy followed a year or so later.
unfortunately he passed away in 1994 at the age of 49.
as previously stated Sq. Grip head office was Colnbrook. apart from Eastleigh they also had depots in Bristol, Gateshead and Scotland.

Well the greenies sure put the boot in to log trucking in Oregon..... Just a shadow of it's former self......Most nights in the state of Oregon there are only 8 police officers on duty for the whole state.... That's all the budget can afford...
Early 2000'ands when it all went "pear shaped " a bunch of loggers put all their machinery. ( Dozers, Forwarders, Snorkels, etc ) on low loaders and hauled them south for a big auction .... even while on their last journey the tree huggers attacked the convoy... At auction the stuff went so cheap that it didn't even cover the transportation cost for the trip... Over the next few months most of the rest of the gear was drained of all fluid, put on a barge and the whole lot was taken out to sea and sunk....

In Tasmania there was a blight of tree huggers around the same .. Usually young, impressionable, misinformed, easily manipulated folk from interstate...... Did I mention they were all very smelly and unwashed.....recruited by nefarious means... They set up various camps in logging coupes and instantly got news coverage.. They caused a lot of disruption... spread miss information...and did a lot of damage.....
Usually misinformed, most of the time they set up camp in new growth plantation forests.... a long way from the hard to get to old growth trees.....They even attacked one of the local Bush Fire stations which was staffed by volunteers, set up to protect the surrounding bush, but also the remote houses and properties of local people that chose to live in the community......

They love the trees and the forests..... so much so that in the summer time when the forests are at there greatest threat ( Forest fires ) which can be hundreds of square miles at a time, they all bugger of back to the the main land and let the "Evil forest workers " try to save what's left with the machinery which has to be repaired after it's all been trashed by the tree huggers...
In the end all they achieved was to remove the right to protest about anything by any one in Tasmania.....

Bed time now....

Jeff.....
