The 2 Solaglas Scanias were on lease from Ryder ,in the late 80s we started hauling the bulk glass out of Solaglas ,they then replaced their fleet of rigids, all with specialist demountable bodies with brand new 4 and 6 wheeler Scanias on E registrations.The problem was that these were signed up on a 5 year deal and someone upstairs forgot to tell someone downstairs not to renew them because they were making all their drivers redundant .There were still a few left in the yard over 12 months later which had done very little mileage.Ryder would send a mechanic out to service them at regular intervals even though they werent in use .They were eventually absorbed into other depots
The barely - used new fleet were on H plates! 
And B805CHE on the photo above was driven by Les Pullan
I thought they were E plates but i could be wrong
They were definately H rego’s, trust me - I knew the firm quite well!
They were most definitely H reg I drove one, they kept me and Malcolm Booth on for a while to clear up orders. What a brilliant job that was, I was gutted when it wound up. Great photos.
Were the last 3 letters ERJ or something similar ?
ERJ seems to ring a bell but the brains a lot older now 
Who did you work for when you were in Solaglas its the ramone bit I am not sure of

Those Holmes pics bring back some memories .A trailer was loaded and dropped on the hill at the back of Holmeses yard but when the air dropped off went the trailer and ended up embeded in Greenbanks wall at the bottom of the hill and i think it hit a car too .
