Hi all, glad to see 2 of the 3 have aged like the rest of us (ha ha) what i want to know is what is what is Pat on? it must be good he looked like that when i first meet him best part of 30 years ago. 
Hi All yeah thats right Pat that was Kingswoods White i just rung my brother in law but no answer but he will know the driver soon as i talk to him ill let you know. R Jimski
Hi Tony yeah thats me as i said put on a few pounds now looks a bit diffrant than the pic above with Pats F12 but still kicking mate. just. 
you should have popped out on thrus aswell Tony could have had a party R Jimski
It was quite a small bloke i think drove the white and micky mathews (rip) drove a scammel or a guy or something of that sort at the same time before they got the little light weight volvo’s on that ato job.
Hi all again the driver of the White for Kingswood was Tony Barber, the engine for some reason let go after the valves were bouncing off the pistons 
dunno how that happend boss !!!
Another pic care of Marc (Bubbleman) this time a Union Cartage Company (who had a depot in Southampton) Scania coming off the Leopard ferry

Hi Jimski
Forgot to reply on the private msg & wiped your details off sorry
But yes that is the man still as mad as a handbag full of frogs.
Hi Pat i went to see my brother in law yesterday( Taff Davis) and do you know he aint got one photo of any of his trucks but i didnt know he was one of the BFC drivers then went to Southern Van Lines with Rick Carlton ( RIP) before he bought his first F88 from R.A.Bugler from Poole. But hes a walking encyclopedia of old Southampton drivers.
Did you know Sid Richmond(RIP) and son Les used to have a scannie 141 ■■? another name i havant heard of for abaout 27 years.R Jimski
Hi another of Paddy Keoghan’s pics this time with a beard!!!

The other trucks that Kingswood had at the time they had the White was an old P reg day cab Scammel Crusader, a T reg. sleeper cabbed Scammel Crusader,a F89 Volvo.and a Daf 2800.Mickey Matthews R I P>used to drive the F89.Les Richmond (Tonto) used to drive the Daf.and i had a spell on both the Scammels and when i was a bad boy i was put back on the day cab Scammel.This was back in the early 1980s.When they got rid of those motors they got a couple of Sed Aks.I hope this answers you question Gerbil.

Hi Pat just to confirm what you said about Malcolm Millard and the Scammel Trunkers,Malcolm had an old L reg.(1973) one and Sid Richmond R I P.) had an old K reg. one 1972.and they both had them subbing for Kingswood.Malcolm got them to do 38 ton with them when the weights went up in the early 80s.They were both painted up in Malcolms colours the same as the Foden Jimski mentioned earlier.They had 220 rolls royce engines with a 6 speed box.regards Todd
