8 to 10-metre (ie pre-12m) tilts from the '60s

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

Rowena, I hope you're still doing fine, sound, happy and whatever...

Did you notice "König" on the side of the trailer? They were agents/partners in this type of transport
Cummins, anything less is a gamble!

Looks about right. The Guy is on a '65/'66 plate and the tilt looks to be a 10m job. 8)
