Murray Hoog, was that the firm frpm which RH Freight eventually evolved?

Or have I got my wires crossed? :confused:

And the Albion on the Daf trailer brings back memorys, my first long distance haulage wagon. Not that actual one, mine was on a much longer wheelbase probably a coach chassis. Made for some intresting cornering if the load was towards the tail. An early taste of power steering. :laughing:

No Spardo, Murray Hogg are a Newcastle firm, still going strong. A family business known locally as " The Flying Pigs", regards Kev.

Thanks Kev. Yes I realised that when I had a look at the door, but when I tried to go back and edit my post (for typos as well :unamused: ) lost it completely and thought that I’d deleted it by accident, but, about to leave on a trip, didn’t have time to do it again.

I think I confused Murray Hogg with Rennie Hogg, who may well have been the original RH Freight from Nottingham.

Also I realised on that 2nd look that the lorry the Albion was on was not a Daf, as stated, but a ‘T’. Are they cheaper than Volvos then? Hence the jibe by Eurotrans. :laughing:
