Bit of panel beating and a replacement windscreen Chris, she will be good as new. Is that an Annett’s cattle truck in the background, Buzzer

DISPATCHER:
Oops

What?
Top pipe of three launched over the cab during braking? But he’s on a grass verge.

Hi all, Buzzer you could be right about Annetts in the background it’s a Commer when i first saw it i thought it might have been one of Reg Goodfellers from Waltham chase but on further scrutiny i think you could be right do we know where it was.

Hi

Meachers also ran this Magirus HCR 772 X which I think from memory was acquired when they took over Southampton Road Transport (SRT) Bob Terris Meachers boss phoned me one day to ask if I would like to purchase it from them as it was an oddball in their ERF fleet,which I duly did.Here you see it in Spartruks spray shop in Richmond St.Southampton being sprayed into the colours of another well known Southampton transport company, who Roolechat will recognise LTS Freight.
It has always been a bit camera shy as you can see from Buzzer’s transit photo, the other photo shows it hiding away in the corner in Lorraines.

Regards
Richard

Hi Rich
Isn’t this the truck a certain young man was driving when He was struck on the head by a falling bear barrel
And was slightly quicker than HCR 776X that is also hiding in the pic !!!
Hope you’re all well
