M&B Transport Trucks

Hi I used to work for M&B in the 80s and used to drive one of the DAFs KRP 3Y just wondered if anybody knows if she is still around and if so where.
I used to run with German Joe, Cloggy, Charlie, Ray, Fred,Thane, etc. Any info on anything welcome. Paul (Woody)

i used to do italy in the 80’s and remember a lady driver from M&B, she used to drive an 88, only a little lass but she could handle it as good as the next, i have some photo’s somewhere of her when we were clearing in italy, will dig them out and stick them on here.

I remember m& b in sywell arodrome when I was a young lad by brother drove a 7.5 tonne for them .and us to take me out and about with him

Hi Paul,I’m Andrew, Ray Archers son? thought I’d drop muck&bullets in the search to see what came up.
The old man loved seeing the old photos.
I’ve taken him over the water a few times myself as like father like son it’s what I do these days, be it a completely different job now!
I told him I’d seen your post on here and he went straight to the bottle of Campari, filled his glass and started rolling off the stories of the old days.
