Any old promotor drivers around

A little anecdote re ex-Promotor Scania B267DHK.

In about 1992/3 my Dad was driving B267 for Harrier Express, and had stopped for a cuppa in the big layby on the A40 just outside Oxford.
He was letting the motor cool down, and was about to pull the stop cable (remember them things haha), and jump out, when all of a sudden - BANG.

Turned out that a wheel had come off a passing truck and hit the drive axle wheels on B 267, literally seconds before he climbed out of the cab. Surprisingly, there wasn’t too much damaged, just the outside wheel & tyre, and the mudguard and it’s support arms - luckily the fuel tank wasn’t damaged.

Now, I’m pretty sure ( I can’t remember exactly) , but I think that the truck that lost the wheel, was one of Promotor’s - ironic to say the least, if it is the case.

Cheers, Keith
