Hino trucks were excellent for muckshifting work, I think that spares backup wasn’t brilliant though? I believe they liked a drink as well! Longcliffe Quarries have at least one though, as does an OD working from there who previously ran Fodens.There used to be a saying an Australian friend told me “If you want to go into the desert then buy a Landrover, if you want to come back out again then you had better buy a Toyota”.

Do you remember Bill Warrngton from Yeavley, Pete? An O/D, he ran a Hino artic some years ago, although long since retired now.

Aye Steve, I remember Bill but can’t say that I remember his Hino though.
Pete.
That’s because he never ran one, he had a bonneted Mack after his Volvo F10 but before his ERF EC11, it was painted light blue, a lot lighter than his Volvo, The ERF was white & the tanker trailer was liveried Ash Resources.
That owd’ bloke from Hilton must have been dreaming after having breathed in so much fresh clean air on his visit to Longford on Sunday Pete
