Your Lordship:Been out of action for a while and my old computer blew up, so I’m late to this thread. Some of those names flash the brain cells:
These three all ring bells from Shaw Bros, produce merchants of Friskney, near Boston, in the early to mid 1960s:
Alec Blackburn - lived in Skeg. Drove Dodge XDO 103.
The Yank - Warren Shreeve? Also lived in Skeg, usually drove one of the TS3 Commers XLP 690.
Alan Scarborough. If this is the Alan I remember, he was once a copper based at Alford. He came from Friskney and died a few years ago when working on the RAF Wainfleet bombing range. However, this may be someone else because the Alan I knew spelt his surname Scarboro.
Are Alec and The Yank still around?

Edit:
I also see the name John Thornally. Is he the chap who went out on his own with an AEC Mercury bulker and now poles a Volvo FH pulling a fridge for Marshall Bros/Solstor at Butterwick?

It seems you may be right with the spelling of Alan Scarboro’s name, your Alan Scarboro and the Alan Scarborough I know are two different people. Alec Blackburn lives in Alford, but now retired, we’re all getting older. By the way it’s Richard Thornally yes he once had a 4 wheeler AEC and since selling that, he’s had a VOLVO who ever he’s pulling for I’ve no Idea, but he and his wife live only a few minutes away from.
