Remember the Birdseye vehicles , always liked these and wished i had got a few more pictures of them , i know they went on to buy Dafs after the fords but i saw a scania once in there colours anyone got any info about the birdseye fleet?
I spent some time driving (I think) A233 NHD or LHD DAF 3300 out of Gloucester BRS mainly going between the Gloucester factory and Brooklands, then up to Yarmouth and across to Monkspath (Birmingham) or out of Grimsby for anywhere. The Dafs were great and good for the job. Billy Hyett (RIP) had one with a huge roof spoiler which he claimed gave him good m.p.g… My Daf blew up and they gave me a crappy Mercedes which not only had the half-cab so nights-out weren’t much fun but it also had the usual Mercedes snail-like performance. The joke was that if you covered the headlights with cardboard, the truck couldn’t see the hills and flew up them Ha ha
