Hi Fergie

Not Tony Gaitral? That name rings a bell or was he from Marchwood?

Regards Pat

Pat.
No not Tony, and he was at Hythe industrial estate. He ran 4 wheelers mostly , and later on, a Maggie V10 tractor unit, but he never went on the continent with any of them.

The driver, who drove for Terry, I think was Reg, but I can’t recall his surname, someone will no doubt remember…

Been trying to think all day of the Dimplex contractor, definately out the forest way, again, someone may remember them.

Mappo, Hope you’ve got plenty of money Tone, I hear those lemonades are expensive in the Wheatsheaf>>

13265

And here was i thinking i could rely on you Fergie what with me just being a very poor lorry driver,
S,pose i,ll have to raid the piggy bank then aye. :unamused: :unamused:
I was thinking Dave, why oh why did,nt we bother to take any photos back in the days of
Oberyield and Simons. :cry: :cry:
Dont suppose those names will mean anything to anyone else aye mate.
What about your old workplace Geco,s garage at bottom of St.Marys.■■?

You were always the wealthiest driver I knew mate, best trucks, best companies, and best paid. I’ll bring a tyre lever to help you get your wallet out !!

Simons / Oberyields, ran the Albions, Leylands, and Bedfords, then the ergo cabbed Leylands ,mostly 4 wheelers with just the 1 X 6 wheeler. Trying to remember some of the drivers, Big George, Mike, Pete ( gawd blimey ) Jimmy Carlin, Pat Carlin. Streeter , Charlie Cull in the warehouse, Jim from lee-on-solent, expect you’ll remember a few more !!

Taking pictures with film and paying for the developing was expensive in those days mate, and we were poor ! Camera’s have come a long way since then, bit like trucks !!!

Ah, GECO’s, so if I said, Blond bird, and Curry’s van ■■?

13267

Fergie
Re Oberyield / Simons. Remember Graham Shipton, was it ■■ the manager who lived in the big house
at the top of Titchfield Hill and Harry Udell from Stubbington that i used to go with on a Friday night to do
the driving for him ( when i was 17 or 18 ) :sunglasses: :sunglasses: . Who could forget Charlie and his mad antics.
Then of course there was the TK Dave was,nt there. Doncaster or bust was,nt it ■■?

Hi All

They let you back out then Pat.

Tony we even had Euroliners on R&G but I expect you had retired by then :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :

Sorry to hear about Terry we did back loads for him from time to time he had a lot of contacts :frowning:

Could the firm from the Forest with brown lorries be The Oughton Bros.

Nice pics Steve didnt know you had been driving that long did you get your HGV at 10 or something :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :laughing:

Tribsa
Not the company I’m thinking about, They were running the older Seddon, the Coventry Panel cab, not the 400 type, around the early 70’s. I’m sure they were dark brown / green. They definately had 1 tractor unit, and may have had a couple of 4 wheelers. And I’m sure they were out Ashurst / Cadnam / Frimley, on the edge of the forest, to the west ! :confused:

Well who knows who these two are■■? Just a few miles under their belts
