Hi Ray,Dave passed away not so long ago

Surprisingly it’s been just over two years now, not correcting you John I was just surprised when I checked that’s all.

At a guess a total of around 750hp on tap between all 3 motors?

Hi all,
Just returned from a great weekend at Hereford Truck Show.Twelve months after Kelvin Powell passed away,his dying wishes of what he wanted to happen with his ERF have come to fruition.Our good friend Stuart Payne from Cardiff now owns her and has made a great job of restoring this truck.

Hi all,
Courtesy of retired haulier,■■■■ Westcott from Porthcawl.A couple of Westland Coal lorries.There was a lot of coal moved by road around South Wales in those days…

Andrew King’s Merc was a regular sight on the coal…

Morning Andrew,
I think Ryan’s had a place at the top of Thorns road Quarry Bank, near where the Merryhill Centre is now,
Another couple of Wynns for you, the bottom pic is on the A449 by the Merc garage in Wolverhampton, Cheer’s Pete

Spencer Chilcott and Bill James[rip] finishing off a load of finished goods at hanger 2 llandow.

Hi all,
I saw this picture on Facebook.Aosta Italy many years ago and the pair of red F88’s that are parked together are pulling tilts with W.I.T.S. written on them.Welsh International Transport Services of Cardiff…

That’s a great pic - I wonder who drew the short straw and took the A series ERF to Italy?
