Baldrick1953:
Hi Geoff…
A couple of nice pics of Merv you posted…
I remember Kelvin doing a few trips in the early days but I think he stayed home on the spanner’s later on and had a couple of drivers?
Foggy memories now but I seem to recall that Merv had a transcon that was an orangey colour at one time…
Like a say foggy memories of some great times .
All the best… Baldrick.
Hi Baldrick you are right Kelvin was one of the first to do Portugal many years ago with Euroking. He then went o/d with the Transcon in pic and latterly had several trucks mostly Scanias. He then as you say went on the spanner’s to keep them going. Merv did have a Transcon as you say as well as a few others. Both of them characters and great boys to run with. The tricks that we used to do and mostly get away with are long forgotten nowadays but we can all tale some tales of as we call them the good old days. Obviously we had heart ache as well but we tend not to remember those. Please raise a glass on Monday at 1130 to toast Merv on his last journey. Regards Geoff
