OLD LIVESTOCK HAULIERS SHROPSHIRE

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

Hi John. who or what was Annow International as seen on Jones livestock bodies?
Is the Jukes's photo taken in Richards yard? The leyland must be JVJ 758E and one of the AEC marshalls NCJ 340G. How many did Jukes's have?

hi dave
i never asked about annow int but was operated by ae jones possibly as a separate company when they were on the export job. i will ask norman jones when i see him
as for jukes fleet i think this was the fleet when photo taken probably 1968. the other aec marshal was OCJ 875G and les morgan drove it at that time.
the bedford is FVJ 556D
cheers john

Hi 143 John,
I know Norman Jones quite well,had a chat with him the day we took the pics.he lived up this way for a while,and used to come to Country & Western evenings that I run. Dennis Lewis had a blue six wheeler 3 series Scania when he finished,sadly he passed away soon after.But he worked until he was 73,not bad going.
Cheers Dave.
