That Albion in the penultimate photo next to the Volvo looks like a toy! Just shows how trucks have developed over the years.

Is it an FH?
It’s probably the one called ‘Blue Moves’,named after a Stones album and owned by a guy who lives around the Cambs area.

I met him a couple of years ago at a reunion,his father used to drive M/E for Trans UK.

Nice photo’s and a sunny day . the Astran 141 looks to have a couple of kegs up on the roof :open_mouth: Was that standard issue for a middle east run? No wonder it took so long to get there :smiley:

frank that truck was owned by wayne baber the last time i saw it a few years ago at a show but i never saw it at gaydon mate

All good stuff Carl :sunglasses:

some american trucks at gaydon





Excellent pictures Carl. A few old timers in there that bring back fond memories of me going with my old man when he was with the BRS. AEC Mandator, BIG GUY, Albion and Leyland Reiver but to name a few. Astran pictures are also top notch. More of the same please.

When I used to live in Berkshire, those Yeoman trucks lived just down the road from me. Always meant to take some pix but didn’t get round to doing it

Great pics Carl. I started with BRS on that little Albion. It had an engine like a sewing machine.Next I got that red Leyland artic. & that ERF unit from Craigs , then I drove that Essex Scania ( For 3 days ! ) also a similar one to Astrans for SCA. I am talking similar trucks here not the actual ones in the photos. Except maybe for the BRS Leyland, I see that its got an East Anglia reg on the side…Boy do I feel old !!

Very nice pics mate. :smiley:
