Well sad to here that Nobby, Johhny Old was some character wasn’t he, I’ve sent you a message under my new user name Nobby as I can’t get access to the one you sent the message to, Cliff
I’ve just looked through your Flicker photo’s, I know who your Dad is now , I can remember him, but not sure if he would know me, the pic of the MAN he’s stood infront of, when he had longer hair, I drove one of those on lease off Morton’s, for my Brother, even went to Holland in it, no sleeper cab!!!
Here is an early Mortons Commer, I spent alot of time in Commers like this with my Dad on Car Delivery.
The Foden is one of Motor Packing Co, when my Dad was on general haulage in the 50’s we would load there, it was opposite the Standard Triumph factory.
A nice Mandator from Mortons. Not sure where this photo came from so if I’ve done anything wrong, take it off.

That’ll be Greaves and Ellis. Don’t think it’s the same. Run by an Indian family i believe.

Hi there. Do you have any pictures of the Sentinels Mortons ran ? Mortons was where my dad started his driving career in the late 50’s early 60’s, the first truck he drove was a Sentinel. The first artic he drove was a Commer.
Hello Slope, no sorry I don’t have any of the sentinels , how I wish i’d had a camera back then living in Baginton, a truck spotters heaven, back then.
Diesel Wizzard… get those photo’s uploaded.
Hi sadly a. sinkington as passed away my dad worked for Bradys transport his name is Willy henderson
I knew Arthur Sinkingson had passed on, he beat me in the Christmas Snooker handicap final at the Baginton Legion in the 80’s he came from Penrith, I worked with him at Cartansport BRS in 1990 but had known him since the 70’s he had a great sense of humor.
John Pratt retired in 2002 just before Axial lost the Jaguar contract he was living in Rugby not hear or seen him since.
cheers for that i will have a look in phone book, thanks, Bill
