Hi oiltreader. The first photo was taken in yard at burnopfield. I can remember using this wagon as a service van one winter in 80s when all wagons fuel filters were waxing up. The second photo would be taken in yorkshire dales the wagon would be on its way to skipton for a load of lime for BSC consett. I served my apprenticeship on these volvos as well as AEC ERF DAF FODEN LEYLAND ALBION they had a very mixed fleet. They went on to become MAN dealers and ended up with a fleet of MANs.
