G H Gough at Morestead were home to that thieving load of vagabonds called ‘Cranes and Commercials’ who as a consequence of one deal caused me to be raided on suspicion of stolen lorries at both my home and yard which were extensively searched and nothing was wrong!!!
I may have bent the rules a bit in haulage but never ever handled stolen lorries

Sorry Pat ,didnt mean to drag up a bad memory mate

Judging by the registration number on the right hand truck (Reiver?) they are local but cant remember where from.
The AEC in Totton lorry park could that be a Clapcock one
I had to say something we were dropping down the list
Hi Richard happy new year to you I must admit that did cross my mind but I don’t recall Clappies having shiny tanks, I could be wrong though
Anyway another of Bubbleman’s Scrapbook gems an early Scania Vabis with a Southampton connection Jamesons.
Regards Pat

Not sure but didn’t Ray Wyre have a Crusader on there before his Transcon?
Regards Pat
This is a tenuos link:
It’s Southampton, lorry park behind the pool circa 1974.
Its a MAN from Rumania.
I think that encompasses a lot of threads there! Even Frenchy’s trip to Rumania in an MAN!

Definitely Ray Wyre’s motor, and as you say, after that, the Transcon.

I never had a tipper fetish but here’s one I captured somewhere in Southampton about 1974.

Hi Bev, I think that you are most certainly talking Rod Redgrave.
Others who knew him even better may wish to elaborate. Go for it !!
