My brother was a mechanic at the Felixstowe depot of Ancliff’s,from around the early 70’s till the mid-80’s.That’s from when they had the depot next to the ‘Little Ships Hotel’ near the dock basin,until they moved into a new purpose built depot in Byron Avenue.I can remember they had a couple of Scania 110’s as well as the Seddon’s and Atki Borderer’s.And I remember when the first two sleeper cabbed Seddon-Atki 400’s came home,I went for a trip in one of them,driven by Ken Cleaver (RIP).
My Dad worked at Ancliffs when they were at the depot by The Little Ships and had one of the 2 Scania 110’s they had in 1970. His name was Harry Biscoe and worked there for 10 years. Started wit a long nosed Scammel, Atki’s then the Scania. He was often mistaken for His good mate Ken Cleaver, which nearly landed him with a punch in the face when up Bradford way one time.(women trouble). A guy they called 'Speedy had the other Scania.
