sorry no pics tony but I remember them well. didnt they have a depot at dunstable?
Hi tony,yes that picture was taken at R H P .The company put the contract out to tender and swift won the contract.They retained me
as shunter loader at newark depot.Lorries came in from covertry and northhampton depots and left trailers in yard for me to empty
and reload.On many occasions i had to trunk loads for swift when they were short of drivers.
Their is a book all about swift,called SWIFT the story of a transport buisiness,writen by NIGEL WILSON.
I have a copy myself and its very interesting ,1928 to 1985.Lots of pictures and very interesting reading hope this helps,NIGEL.
