Yella,
is eddie deville any relation to kenny who used to be on for shirleys??
Don’t think so, he did have 3 sons, I remember one of them being named Edward, I think there was a William, but I can’t remeber the other, we went on holiday with them a couple of times.
Eddie died a couple of years ago, no doubt Eddie & my Dad are in the ‘bar above the clouds’ talking diesel along with all the other drivers departed.
Regards
Ant
i would imagine kenny would have been his brother or cousin, he is probably in his late 50’s now. he used to live in meir. he could fall out with himself if there was no one else around 
Hi All,
been some time, but have ,managed to gather a couple more photos, these courtesy of Bill Clowes who was a good freind of George Thorley.
hopefully I might be getting some more soon from another source.
Anybody know if any of Comarts old trucks are still about anywhere, in use or preserved ■■

Ant
Hi All,
Used to work with Alan Nicklin a few years ago on the milk, he is still doing a bit of driving for pro drive in uttoxeter top bloke, always had a good story to tell about when he was on comarts probably one of the best blokes ive ever met when i was driving.
Also know the mcanns, they are still running to spain and italy despite the e blockers screwing the job, saw richard (simons brother who i know better) the other day cartiing straw up the A500.
FLIP when you were on Mcanns do you remember QUAZZY and MARK HARMER??, plus do any of you remember my dad Ade Walkman who died a few years ago, he used to work for CARR & HODGEKINSON based at draycott near blythe bridge?? shifting JCB`s before brit euro got the job
Excellent stuff.
just noticed reading the story about Wink, loaded Cueno tipped London next day / night
That was good going in those days, considering it was nearly all nationals.
Adam,
Do you have any photos of carr & Hodge Volvo’s - there the only firm from around here that I have no photos of, wish I’d taken some in the day !!
Regards
Ant
ant,
im not sure ill have a look and send you a message.
Adam
Hi adam. Yes I took over Quazzies F12 when he left, coula hours with the hoover & de crabber & it was fine 
Mark aka Harry set up his own fencing & shed/barn building business out towards Milwich but his mate Steve Cashmore who worked at Simons’ for ages with me tells me he’s now back doing some for Brit’s. Not sure where Quaz is now as he left Brit’s some time ago.
Rich was always a good lad, much more like his dad & always up for a night out when he was running Spain himself, had many a happy night at Sunbilla & Moncofar (nr Nules) with Rich
Hi All,
Come across this photo, don’t know who took it ?, but it was certainly taken early 70’s has the Green ERF in the background was one of the origanal Smiths Service fleet, which became Comart’s and obviously, this Scania was just out of the paint shop as it has no number plate on it, the Scania’s were in the early fleet.
Think it maybe this one LHD (WEH 932 G) my Dad had for a while
Regards
Ant
Nice one Ant, only just discovered thread, great pics. God bless your dad.
brookie.
Hi All,
Found some more photos and a news pape cutting from 1972, when Comart’s had one turnover at Trentham Lights which now is the roundabout by Trentham gardens, I have a feeling that the drivers were trying to get rid of the ERF’s !!!
Again, if anybody as any stories or photos, please feel free to post.
Many thanks
Ant

Well !!
After calming down overnight, I’ve decided to pick my dummy up again and start to re-attach the photos as best I can, will have them all done eventually, thought it would be disloyal to my Dads memory if i didn’t.

Denis,
Thanks very much, you have restored my faith in human kind (for a while anyway !!)
I had decided to put them back on, just incase you couldn’t get the links back.
Good work
Regards
Ant
