Yes it was, I did loads of those 20ft boxes but usually at the other end of the 271 at Redbridge, most were low-speed rollovers due to badly loaded boxes.

Don’t know if any of you on here knew Dave Waters from Waters Bros the timber hauliers from Cadnam but I read in the Echo he had passed at the age of 81. Remember there first truck a GUY Warrior (feather in your cap) type motif of an Indian warrior on the front and they fitted an Atlas crane and ran many loads into R.F.Gidding’s sawmill in Bartley then went on to run a small fleet of artics, RIP and condolences to the family John Davies.
