Dalgety Volvo. Does anyone know if they bought out RHM/Chrisopher Hill’s as they took over here mill in Poole.Yes, Dalgety Agriculture bought RHM Agriculture in 1982. It was a “reverse” takeover in that RHM Agriculture was the bigger company of the two.
Good stuff Graham.
Yes DEAN, at the time I worked for Spillers Milling which was part of the Dalgety empire. Dalgety was a good company to work for, paying top salaries and wages…probably why they failed years later but by then I had moved on.
Happy memories of the Poole mill Graham. Long gone now and a big Asda and other shops been built there now. 
Heres a few of RHM Christopher Hill’s trucks.

Pedantic but, pretty sure the erf 4 wheelers below the Edinburgh woolen mill one are m types not b series. Different lower grille panel area.The mauri iveco could be Blakeys? from Hull as i remember them having Leyland roadtrains in the mauri livery.
Great photos as ever.
Steve
Scanned that article onto the computer a few years ago and forgot about the M type. Mind you i cant ever recall anyone ever
calling them that Steve.

Hi Dean,
The Volvo may have been a BRS contract hire vehicle they replaced Bedford TK box vans, they last ran Daf 75’s artics and wagon and drags.
Beldray where based in Bilston West Midlands and made ironing boards, garden incinerator bins etc, sadly the factory shut in 2005/6, the name Beldray was bought by an investment company that is why you still occasionally see the name about.
The name Beldray is an anagram of Bradley which is an area near Bilston, a bit of worthless info I know!
Good stuff Pete, thanks for the info chap.

“DEANB” We have had some cracking ERF 6 wheelers on here.Can’t let this cracking thread go past the post without contributing my two’penarth Dean ! This is a shot of an ERF 6 wheeler that I acquired when I bought out the haulage interests of Davy & Co ( Grange) Ltd. It had an LX150 engine,6:600 DB and a single drive Eaton 2 speed axle. The regular job it did was running down to the Midlands mainly from the Libby factory at Milnthorpe and then collecting various components and leather etc from around Northampton, Kettering and Leicester areas back to the big K Shoe Factories in Kendal on a twice weekly basis. However this K Shoe traffic started to grow somewhat the 24 ft flat became a bit overwhelmed so I replaced it with a Sed/Atk 30:5 ton gvw unit and coupled it with a 37 ft C/F tandem trailer which could cope with the busier times. Cheers Dennis.
Thanks for your input Dennis,looks a tidy motor chap,great pics.

Hiya Mark ,
I understand your explanation but why would the Greenwood Transport symbol be in the bottom right hand corner of the Fletchers advert ? If you look back on shots of Greenwoods motors on TNUK you will see the identical symbol on the cab doors ! Interesting don’t you think ! Cheers Bewick.Hi Bewick,
Yes totally understand what your saying…the logo is identical Greenwoods.
I wonder if anybody else may have any information on this.Regards Mark
Dennis / Mark, “smallcoal” John may know something ■■

Hi All,
Something I snapped when on holiday in Malta recently this fine ERF… it’s clearly from the UK and just wondered if anybody night recognise her and where it may have come from.Hope Dean doesn’t mind me posting this
I have never been to Malta Mark but i understand there are some great trucks from the 70’s,80’s,90’s still there and is a bit
of a treasure trove. The wind deflector does not look original chap ■■
