There’s 4 Thompson jewitt boys there
port of Tyne today .
Does any one have any dock scene or truck park pics from the 70’s and 80’s please?
Dunno if this counts Mr 141 as its just outside Felixstowe Docks…My old 111 taken around 1986…I think I was waiting to lift an empty box off somewhere…the days before sliders had even been thought of and if you took those roundabouts a little to quick with a loaded 20 foot it was heart in mouth time
Happy Days

That was cetainly heart in mouth time Blissy. I started driving demountable tanks using a short 20’ skelly like those. Certainly had a few trouser hiccups on the old A14 with a slack tank
