Hi Dean,
The BRS DAF here is coming out of the old entrance to Swansea dock…it’s pulling a B + I line trailer…B + I used Swansea dock for freight from Ireland back in the late 70s early 80s. …Morris Bros were the main contractor though.

Regards Mark

Hello DEAN and Mark …yes i can remember Morris Bros doing that work …a mate of mine has got a shot of Foden S40 ECY 614K …he also did scrap in and out of Neath Abbey wharf…big fleet they had with Scammells as well …they also had a unusual Dennis artic …Joint Motorways also had one …Geraint

[limey]

The ERF is wearing the colours of Walsh’s from Haslington, bit of a strange one because they tended to hold on to their vehicles but also kept them tidy.

Morning Dean,
Thanks for the Western brs Daf photo,
My gut feeling says it would be Swansea or Carmarthen based but that MWS R prefix was scattered amongst lots of Western depots.
Bridgend had 4 Dafs that year.Here is 1 in the new colours in the ranks.

That Scania looks to be in the colours of a firm out of the Teesside area, I think they were called Robinson? They ran a good few S ride F10s in later years.

Aye,F and F Robinson newmercman,they had some half cab Fodens years ago. The Scania has a GB Glasgow plate but I don’t recognise the livery from that area.I know somebody who might know it.

That’s the ones Chris, they did a fair bit of Coca Cola work. They used to trunk 5 Alive juice down to the warehouse of a firm I worked for. The lorries were nothing fancy, but always clean and tidy.

Hi Geraint,
Yes i also remember the scrap in and out of Neath Abbey Wharf to…I would always go with my father on a Saturday morning load out of the Wharf up to the Spencer works then in Newport…then scrap back to the Wharf…the Foden S40 ECY 614K you mention here my father drove for a while on that scrap run…he also drove a Scammell Routeman TWN 47H for a while on the coal runs…I also remember the Dennis they had it pulled those single axle bulker trailers along with the Bedford KMs they had.
Attaching a photo of ECY 614K it’s not mine but hope who it belongs to don’t mind me posting it, also the Bedford KMs I mentioned alongside it.

Regards Mark

Mark R:
Another great selection… Particularly the contrast between the immaculate ERF of Coates and the tatty old MAN of Paul Rea. She’s certainly been worked hard.

Paul will appreciate your comments Mark !

J.Jackson & Sons Volvo F88 a great pic of Jacksons F88 with a load of pickled & oiled strip out of Brinsworth strip mill Rotherham

Thanks “revman”

ERF-NGC-European:
Isn’t this the one Jimski drove? He made a prize-winning 1:24 model of it, on display at Gaydon last weekend. Robert

Morning Robert,
Jimski told me the Scammell was purchased secondhand by Meachers and was a horrible dull green in colour so Meaches put some stickers on it and sent it to work! Not sure if it was sprayed in the fleet colours later? Cheer’s Pete.
Thanks Pete! Robert

Thanks Pete & Robert.

Click on pages twice to view.

My younger brother (now retired) was a senior engineer/inspector with VOSA for many years, I used the threaten him with physical violence if he ever came near my lorry or car with his bloody ‘tapping hammer’. The bar steward once told me the spacing was wrong on my car number plates…“Pi*s off”
He was (and is) a great guy, but when he was doing his job …let’s just say he had a reputation…and it wasn’t complimentary.

MaggieD:
Albion ■■ Anyone recognise it.

Cahalin Volvo F10.

I can see what you both mean by F&F Robinson, but I have another suggestion. I think it could be N T Whitfield from Stockton, they are still in business. It’s the silver/grey band around the windows and the load, in those days they did a lot of work for BSC Hartlepool tube mill that makes me think that. Perhaps a suitably aged Teesider could adjudicate.

[newmercman]

ACD1202, I wish you had said that before Chris popped up. That’s the firm I was thinking of, Whitfield not Robinson. After all that the lorry in question probably belongs to neither firm lol

It’s been suggested further back in the thread that it’s one of S and H McCall’s of Glasgow which would tie it in with the GB Glasgow plate.

[newmercman]

Hahaha I knew it!

If only we had full 3D imaging, then we could turn the pic 90` and read the name on the door.

[newmercman]

No doubt that will soon be a thing, although with everyone running plain white lorries now, it won’t be the same.
