Evening all,
was going through the posts and wanted to add detail to these.
the above truck is definitely a Clapcott tanker, based at the Nutsey Lane, Totton yard and probably just delivered bitumen from Esso Fawley into the Tarmac asphalt plant at Parkstone.
not sure of reg but we had a few of these, for comparison here is an out of service one VHO870N
old skool days when we had very tank walks and top of tank valve handles!
Next is another Clapcott VBO150K previously posted by Dean, I did drive this once or twice, my last memories of this were it running “white oils” out of the Shell Depot down in Poole.
regards
Colin
