I’m genuinely intrigued where my picture of the Hills pair came from, as I don’t ever remember posting it anywhere on t’interweb or lending it out! It was taken at Fleet services by the way.

I’ve absolutely no idea! It’s been sitting in my Scammell files for a long time. Did you ever send it to a magazine? Some of my pics were scanned from old mags.
If you would like me to take it down, I’m happy to do so! A case of NMP.

Perhaps it was the Robson’s driver behind them, waiting for them to get out of the way of his shot.
Only kidding but maybe not, is it not possible that someone else took a pictrure as well at that time?

No, it’s not a problem, I’m not after you taking it down, I was genuinely interested how it got there. I hadn’t sent it to a magazine, I must have posted it somewhere I guess for someone to copy, but I don’t remember putting any on anywhere. I took a few photos that day in the services, maybe I put them on here years ago when I first joined as some of them may have been local motors to the Southampton area.

No it’s definitely mine, I recognised it straight away and went and grabbed the original to compare. The giveaway is the hazing in the picture. I didn’t have a camera at the time being a spotty youth, I borrowed my mum’s camera which had a fault where it let light in, so the pictures often came out damaged with a haze around them.

Ah ha, good as a watermark/trademark then. 
Came up on my FB memory bank, what’s the relativity of the two pictures, if you know, you know, Buzzer

Hi Chris, hooe you’re well…
In some summer months I and several of my mates would walk from Shedfield to Hedge End School and on the return in the afternoon would mess around in the river for an hour or two. Later when I worked at your place as a nipper I had to go down the shops in Botley for the tea for the fitters brew ups, passing the mill and watching then load from the shutes from the second floor onto the wagons, I think they had Albions at that time…When it shut up one of the sections became an old pine furniture shop, quite a contrast from the Mill.
There was also the old flour mill at Wickham, the Chesapeake Mill, named the ship Chesapeake whose timbers were used to construct it, now a antiques shop I think. They also had a lorry or two, but I can’t rember what ones…
