This was the last and worst of the three P112’s I mentioned in my previous post Dean, during it’s time on the fleet it did nothing but run up and down to N. East Scotland with Paper to Forfar or Kirriemuir and back from Montrose/Dundee/Grangemouth with woodpulp to Milnthorpe.Cheers Dennis.

Is that the same family as the Edmundson from Preston Paul? If so,they were taken over by Manx Independent Carriers.

MFS ran several P112s Dennis and it was surprising how some were better than others. 
Two photos,one of Fleet 404 UWJ 494Y which was the 100th Scania MFS bought for the Littlewoods contract and yours truly in fleet 405 UWJ 495Y when on a Carlisle trunk.405 was far superior to 404,a lovely wagon.

No Chris you are thinking of Edmundson Haulage which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Manx Independent Carriers.
Edmundson Haulage were the longest established haulier serving the Isle of Man being formed in 1936 with Manx Independent Carriers buying the company from John Edmundson in 2001.
They are now based just off Prescot Road on the East Pimbo Estate Skelmersdale.

Sorry folks, my brain has gone to day, at first I thought it could be an old motor of Holmere transport, near Whiteparish, Big old steamer Brian Snelgar. Gazzer may Know, he is a Wipper-snapper, Harvey
HRS I think Holmere was green base with cream top, also (i may be wrong) didnt do Continental

F Edmondson & Sons operated from a depot next to Sadler Tankers on White Lund Ind Est Morecambe during the 70s/80s and I believe they are still operating to this day. They used to run quite a tidy fleet of Mercs at the time. If i remember correctly one of his sons was called Peter.
Cheers John for your comments. Yes they are still going !

Hiya Dean, pleased to see the thread is still going strong ! I did see you had posted that article about Shap Fell this morning but I had to go into town so couldn’t respond ! I have read it on a previous occasion, it was out of a Truck Comic IIRC and some of it must be taken with a “pinch of salt” if I may say so
Cheers Dennis, thanks for the info. “last one had a Rottweiler driving it”

Anyone recognise the Scania ■■? Looks like the last name is Hill ■■?
The Scania 81 was operated by West ■■■■■■■■ Duncan Hill from Maryport and IIRC he mainly would have been a subby of BRS in the late 50’s early 60’s then when they closed he would run out of Albright & Wilson Whitehaven ( formerly Marchon Chemicals) that load on the trailer is probably an A&W load and I’ve got to say that is a “fly sheet and a half” but demonstrates the pride the W. ■■■■■■■ Lads took in their S & R craft ! The firm still trades as Duncan Hill but has been owned by the Nixon family for many years now and I think they are into tankers nowadays IIRC. Cheers Dennis.

All the pictures above were all sent to me a while back from managing director John Quaye who also sent me this shot below of one of their MAN tractor units and trailers coming off the ferry at Douglas on the Isle of Man.
Nice pics and info Paul, cant keep up with you today !

Thanks to "DISPATCHER,Buzzer and Harvey for there comments re the Volvo !
Had one of these in an F88
And these were in the borderer…not that you could hear it!
Earlier Dennis mentioned Albright & Wilson. They used to ship out through Poole years ago twice a week
for Rouen,France. I expect our man Chris Webb may know this lot !
Click on pages twice to view.
Surprised they never used a tidier motor in the article. That Scania is looking a bit the worse for wear !

I remember those,here’s a few pics to bring back some memories “steelboyf10”

That is a Deluxe model as it has pre select push buttons ! 
The ones I fitted just had three buttons MW/LW and can’t just remember what the third one was for 
. The Radio we had in the Octopus was a Philips valve set and the aerial was a welding rod twisted around the stub of the original aerial ! but it picked up a signal very well I could get Radio Caroline on the M1, my mate Eric use to like listening to IIRC “Sing something simple” on a Sunday evening running down into Neath usually ! I also recall that when I got my new D1000 the dealer fitted a push button radio the same model as was in the Granada. How’s that for memory Ah! now what was I doing this morning ? Anne, Anne! I need your help, where have we been to-day !! Cheers Dennis.
