Hello Buzzer I had an AEC on Rawlings back in the 70’s same colour as your pic though it was a mercury but I still ran at 32t some times more especially with those solid old French trailers full of small glass bottles, they used to go to a factory on the north circular can’t remember where abouts . I also remember coming south out of Cheltenham up that long steep hill with a french trailer well loaded ,got down to first gear and managed to get the front wheels off the ground when I released the clutch. Like you guys say those were the days. Cheers Andy

Listen Andy. Don’t you have anything else to do except put up postings about lorises.( Notice I don’t use the yank word ) we need more abou agriculture and horticulture. I would post pics of my garden but I don’t have one. On parlerais a Deux jours. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Thats the trouble mappo with 400 pages its impossible to check what pics have already been posted on
here ! The Joker, first saw that early one morning when it was new heading up to Southampton in a F88 as
a kid and he was going the other way.

Again found on a french site so dont know if its been posted but i believe Jameson was a Southampton
haulier ■■? Taken near Aosta in 1975.

DEANB not seen that pic of Jameson’s before definitely in the Mary Hopkin mode that one, Buzzer.

Thats a cracker Dean.

Robert it is a great shame that Jameson finished, used to do UK traction out of Southampton depot for them, pick the trailer out the dock then to there yard where every time tyre’s brakes and lights were all checked before you were given the delivery notes to go up the road, they ran a well maintained outfit and remember going to the closing down sale as we had a yard opposite there’s. There yard is now a Jewson outlet selling building materials, Buzzer.

Ah! Buzzer, Jameson’s, I can recall in our early years circa 70/71 'ish we used to get a reload occasionally off their Purfleet depot ( behind The Noake Café IIRC) it was usually reels for the North West and I remember their manager was decent sort of chap I also recall that they were in the same group as SOM . We also had a few loads back from Ellisons and again their manager was a decent Fella to deal with. Times long gone but good memories ! Cheers Bewick.
