Hi R-JACKO, no I didn’t drive for Bakers at all but did knew a lot of their drivers over the years. In fact I have spent many an hour with them in such places as Parrifin Annie’s (Bobs’ of Kidlington) The Lincoln Farm, Hampton in Arden etc. However my brother Ennis drove for them on heavy haulage for some time, in fact you may have seen him pictured on this site stood by one of their early Scammels.
Regards,
Nobby.

Hi Kevin I think he did have it new as I beleive Steve Mathews bought a Scania141 at the same time they wer both in the same colours on for Solent Shipping who had an office somewhere along Canute Road
Marc Bubbleman posted a pic on his Scrapbook thread of one of my old Scanias before I owned it
Graham Keedwells 140 near Pyle South Wales,this 1 went to live with Pat(Ainacs) who ran it on continental work.
Hope these are of interest.
Cheers Bubbs.

Hi Pat, I went to a barbie this arvo and got talking to a bloke from Southampton who is travelling around Oz in his campervan, as he mentioned that he is an ex lorry driver I mentioned this site which he has never heard of. I told him that there was a thread called Long Departed Southampton Hauliers and asked if he had heard of you and he said that he did and that he used to know Colin Harris. This blokes name is Dave Elkins and he used to work for Barbour European, he is on his way to the Barrier Reef for a couple of weeks and I have told him to call in on his way back. Do any of you Southampton lads remember him ? or has anybody got any Barbour European photos ?.
Regards Steve.
Hi Steve yes I knew Dave a really nice bloke also big Ian Elkins his brother didn’t they have another brother who died whilst away in a truck in Europe?
Hi R Jacko thanks for the info on Jim if you or your dad see him again send my regards and mention the drivers round up in Aug to him it would be great to see him again. hes another guy i aint seen for more than 20 odd years 
Regards Jimski
