Ray Smyth:
Hi DEANB, Thank you for your post and comments on the “Robert Baillie” thread.
Also,thanks for enlarging the only “Robert Baillie” picture that I have. The last 3
pictures on here are courtesy of Mick Ansell of Horndean,who was formerly the
Transport Manager at Percy Powell Transport,and also at Robert Baillie during
the time that I drove for them in the early 70s. Thanks also to Mrs Molly Phipps,
widow of Amos Phipps, also a manager at Horndean, for some of the pictures,
and to Eddie Heaton,Senior Member/Trucknet,for the pictures taken at Wigan
depot. Just a few days ago,I decided to spread my search a little wider,after
I found a Sussex thread on Trucknet,because it was at Peacehaven where the
company started off in the mid 60s. I have seen some of your interesting posts
on the “Poole” thread, and also “Duke De Normandie” thread.Kind Regards, Ray Smyth.
