Found this picture on page 8,

I remember this being in Clapcott’s fleet while I was there.

an older Clapcott during construction of M27.

Southampton Truck show late 70’s early 80’s, at the old Overnight lorry park in west Quay.

I think the F88 is a Skillbeech, Bob Edwards F10, F7 from the Star Transporter fleet, the driver is sitting on the bumper I think his name was John, aka Mr Bojangles.
Orange and white F88 owners name evades me at present.

Looks like a back view of Bill looking in the door of Bob Edwards’ Volvo?
