the f7 6 wheeler was one of the early trucks with a rear lift up axle i was a grease monkey at the time it was delivered new and we had never seen any thing like it before on a rigid,the low loader you see on the other picture as i remember that komatsu job never took of im almost 100 0/0 sure the unit ended up being turned into a wrecker.
Come to think of it hanson, i remember seeing the FB88 wrecker ! Do you remember Hercocks Mandators before the volvo’s.

he first had one of them with a drag on when he started there think they used to do a lot for metal box when metal box was at loughboro road,i also remember when my dad first started there some of the f88 was white i remember being told at the time that they had done saudi,wether that was tru or not i dont know.
just a passing thought do you remember a firm at queniboro they only had two or three trucks think they was called wilkinson/wilko im pretty sure they did saudi,

Graham furniss is right, the wagon and drags were comets, the artics were mandators, a bloke i used to work with Graham Price used to do a lot of casual for them.
Haven’t heard of wilkinson/wilko. The only drivers i knew doing the middle east from leicester was Terry Tott in a blue 142 and Rob Spicer in his brown and orange transcon.
graeme yes it is didnt know if you knew but he died about 3 years ago now,how you any way i remember you well do you think that is you on that picture i put up
