There was a couple put on by Eugene awhile ago. I remember the 88 was red. I think Colin had a Seddon then a new 86. I tried to contact Eugene to tell Colin that my Dad had died but the pm didn’t go as member not recognized?

IIRC Colin was ginger haired and the Transport Manager or responsible for maintenance of vehicles.

Badger you mentioned Colin Glasspool well I bought an F88 from him, it was behind a shop in North Baddesley think it sold hardware and that would have been circa late 70’s XBF500M a 240 engine in her as was tutheren, the picture below is in France somewhere on our way to Italy. The names on the trucks were “The Incredible Hulk” which I bought from Meachers OTR37M & “Yanky Doodle Dandy” from Colin cant tell which is which here but Stan Mathews RIP was driving the other one along with me, cheers Buzzer.John
that the lorry I went in we tip An EAST trailer in Fos sur Mer then Colin reload Apples from Peyrolles for the Old Spitalfields, after He sold the F88 I remember he went to Partrans, He also work for us for 6 months driving my old DAF 2300 before we sold it. Colin & my Dada work at Conoco at Micheldever before they both set up on there own in 74ish.
I think Colin still lives in Baddesley but on the other side of the road & traffic lights, He was in a motorised wheelchair the last time I saw him.
regards
JeremyHi that’s my dad Colin glasspool he still lives in North Baddesley and he would love to be able to talk to some of you drivers that knew him as he’s been in a wheel chair for many years now and also been quite poorly but he’s on the mend now. I have a few photos of that lorry I will figure out how to up load them on here.

Hi mate, We all whent to redbridge primery school, ( the little one by the side of millbrook road ) about 1949, both families lived in Brookwood road, God has it all changed.
Just heard from Colin, ( back then it was just thier dad Wally on his own ) David and Ted retired 18 years ago, David passed away 3 years ago.
Colin has been in the chair for 57 years, his sons Mark and Paul work for the firm also.
They have depots throughout uk and works in Germany and Kuwait with over 1000 people.
