Hi Dave,Hope you and Liz are well, that was Alex Hammerstein who ran Hammer wasn’t it ? I wonder where he is now ?
Regards
Richard
It was indeed Mr Hammerstein, he went off the radar many years ago, haven’t personally heard of him since the mid seventies…another into the ether…
We’re both well thanks, and hope to see you and Angie next weekend… how time flies…
Take care
Dave

Hi Chris, hope you’re well…
I remember doing a brake re-line on the back end of it, couldn’t get it in the workshops of course, so an outside job, other than that nothing springs to mind…My very first trip out on a heavy was with
Bill Miles and Graham Richardson with the Antar to Cardiff docks for a Tank, for the life of me I can’t remember the trailer, but then we had so much trouble with the wagon that the trailer, if it was the beast, was the least of the worries…

Hi Dave ok this end apart from age body could do with service though
Yes Antar was bit haphazard at times,trailer most likley 4 axle yank semi with those heavy steel skids have photos somewhere
I found this photo on the net of Phil Dibdens ERF he drove for Bakers of Southampton.
This pic is of PBC European Mandator disembarking at Poole on the first trip Cherbourg to Poole of the “Poole Antelope”. The driver could be Ray Marden from Warminster.

Didn’t know your dad, but my condolences to you and your family, the man upstairs has certainly taken a few of the best recently…but when they all meet up, theyll do a few miles no doubt…
