Hi,fairly sure thats a pic of the flying scotsman on page one with the bullbar on,a 143 450,driven by Barry (Ozzy) and N222 MRA was the Highway Man and had ■■■■ Turpin on front of cab,the last truck to run in the blue and white.Mervyn’s nick name was Dibble,cos the drivers reckoned he looked like officer dibble off the cartoon top cat,its 2 years this month that Mervyn passed away,RIP my friend.

Hi Bubbs,
Could be Billy Bean or Barry Osbourne driving, not sure, but some one has done some badge engineering as Mervyn never had any 500 143’s only up to 450 as he didn’t trust the EDC but would “tickle” them anyway!, Cheer’s Pete
