Any old promotor drivers around

I believe thats the first photo I’ve seen of B267 DHK Robert. I’ve had a quick look through some of my photos and found a few of B268 DHK. We did have five units painted up in Midland Bank colours for a year to eighteen months and both lorries could be there. When they were on those type of jobs they weren’t clocking up vast milages so there were plenty of buyers for them when they were moved on.

It’s always fascinating to know the history of trucks you drove. When I drove DHK it never occurred to me that it had ventured out of the home counties, let alone Iran! Robert

Well spotted Robert, I drove B267DHK for Simon at Harrier, for 6 months or so back in 1993 - my Dad was it’s regular driver before me.
I moved on to D609XBC, a 142 Scania which I think you probably drove too.

Cheers Keith

Hello Keith! If I see your old man I’ll remind him of it. Yes, I remember the storming 142 - a great motor: the sort of lorry you drove through tunnels with the driver’s window down and the radio off! :wink: Here it is taking a 45 at Leicester Forest East in the days when you could leave Faversham and make Rotherham within 4.5hrs (no limiter then), tip and reload for Loughborough, tip there and head south. You’d be lucky to make it to the M1 now! Robert
