Anybody know what happened to Kenny Batten (spelling) , used to do Sqibbs , Swiss run , something to do with tyres , michelin or good year ■■? , drove the F88 ■■? seem to remember he was a bingo caller weekends at Romsey ■■? and Bob Nelson !!!another Squibbs driver .

old trucker - cant help you i,m afraid, i know the name but was before my
time with Squibbs.

Here,s a rare one for you all, i drove this for my Brother - in - law who ran Southern Pallets that used to be in Belgrave road next to Les Slaters workshop. I was having one of my short breaks from european work and
could,nt wait to get back to it.

Hi Tony

The tilt behind Paddys Kennworth was Henry Tyrers who had an office near Lorraines Les Watts ran the office for a while. Tyrers were from Liverpool I believe.

This was ‘Black Barry’ Or Fat Ba$tard I think

Here is another of jim Ski’s pics in that green F12.

Regards Pat

Here’s another of Jim’s pics with my LJA597P and two of Jameson’s the drivers are Steve Charrett, JimSki and Charlie Hanham.

Old trucker

Kenny drove an F88, as you said, for JS around the early '70’s. It was on contract with AVON tyres out of Melkisham. It also ran a set of AVON’s on road test for them. Tyres out to AVON’s depot at Geneva, and Rayon cord back from Balle.
Ken was off ill for a few months, and I took over the run, and the truck, till he returned. Every so often it would be tyres out to be delivered all over Switzerland ( Milk run) very enjoyable, as the scenery was spectacular.
Kenny retired from driving with Squibb, and if my memory serves me correctly, went to work full time at the Social club in Totton as Bar manager.
I’ve enclosed a couple of ( not very clear ) photo’s for you.
