0This was taken at Fraserburgh quick way of getting the empty reel off the lay vessel and out of the way of other work on the quayside.
That’s quite a reel!
Another well known name was Lastra from Breda (one of the Stoof family members started it after Stoof was sold to Mammoet) which was sold to Brambles in the mid-90’s.
Another Stoof move carried out with the help of a AS tractor unit, the trailers look like Roger tank trailers?

Nice article about Kaye Goodfellow, what happened to them in the end?Indeed, and where does the Kaye come in? Was that his own first name? I always assumed there was a Mr. Kaye at some point.
He wasn’t far wrong on the 50mph point though was he, 56 now, near as dammit?
Was confused at first as to why his dedication to Guys was featured in the Leyland Journal, then the penny dropped, Guy was bought by Jaguar, and Jaguar…
I seem to recollect that Kaye Goodfellow was the wife David,not overly sure but something in my dim and distant past reminds me of such.
On a side issue David,David Goodfellow was a Director of McKelvie Transport and the Manchester depot manager,when he left to start up his own crane hire company,he used to park his cranes in McKelvie’s Manchester depot,which by sheer coincidence was purchased by SoM for their Manchester depot.
Kaye Goodfellow ceased trading January 1991.Stay well.

Thank you for that interesting infornmation, David. It did seem strange that throughout that article they only referred to him as Mr. Goodfellow, and no mention of a partner. Never known a Kay with an ‘e’ before though.
Thanks too for the good wishes, we are ok at the moment, hunkered down with only 2 outings a week to the shops and market, but I can get out with the dog, and on my new trike
damius.com/en/evasion-elect … cycle.html
for one hour a day within a 1 km radius. As we are out in the wilds it is not difficult keeping to the law.
We hear all about Spain and Italy here (in fact I got out of Italy with 2 dogs just before the virus hit there) but nothing at all about Portugal. I hope that means it is not so serious there. You stay safe too.
You’ll certainly going to impress the ladies with that trike David!

Spanish ERF. Were they exported to Spain, or was there a assembly shop in Spain at the time?
I notice the Spanish ERF is right hand drive.

There was a lot of discussion recently about this Barcelona trams ERF on Pages 33, 34 onwards on this very thread, in which pv83 takes a significant part! Ro

You should see me go, on crossing the line into the next village I set the speed camera off, dead on 20km/hr, smack on the limiter, top gear ( of 7) and max power on the assist (5 of 5). A bit hairyer downhill though, flying at 30, gilet jaune flapping in the slipstream and no retarder, just the disc brakes.

Pubquiz question, what is it…?
Never seen anything like this before! The main question is: are the turret and semi-trailer part of the same equipment, or is the turret just carried by that outfit? It could then just be on its way from one spot to another. Concerning the truck, it could be an Oshkosh ore some other American make. Interesting, anyway.
