Hi Ray,Glass Glover had some of these 112m 3 axled units at Wigan and ran two loads of fruit over to MFS Maltby for Littlewoods which was part of GGD.
Not my photo.

Hi Chris, Thank you for you comments and picture. The last picture that I have just put on is taken
in the yard at Horsemonden in Kent, kindly sent by John Freeman, whose Dad appears in the two
Leyland Super Comet pictures earlier in the thread. John is about to do some further research into
Louis Reece in Horsemonden, where many of the residents of this small village worked. In the early
1980s, I did some “Last Minute Runners” for Louis Reece at Wigan. A chap called Peter Peet would
phone me about 4pm, and say, “Get your Transit boxvan up here straight away, load 2 pallets of pears,
and get straight off to Safeway at Bellshill or a wholesaler at Team Valley, Gateshead”. Happy Days. :slight_smile:
Kind Regards, Ray.
