Yep, this was down in Oxfordshire next door to a Tesco RDC I think… I was there for gutter cleaning…
I had a breif chat with the driver, who said it was a reliable machine…

Oxfordshire? That’s not a million miles from the Cotswolds. Referring to Truckerash’s 80s thread, that is a similar colour scheme to C.H.Howse’s, the lost trucks that I asked him to (unsuccessfully ) search his archives for.
I wonder.

Lets see now.
Logs indicate that the photos were taken on 28th Feb 07, and whilst I can’t find my work sheets detailing the job I do remember (with help from a map) that it was at Didcot. Take the A4130 from the A34 towards Didcot, after a straight road there is a roundabout, turn left, then over the next 2 roundabouts and then right into an industrial estate. Turn almost immediately left again and I was working in that small estate.
It was called Churchward, and the FlashEarth address is here:
Which is, oh, surprise surprise, next door to Tesco Didcot
VTR have a depot in Didcot, but that vehicle seems to have come from their Bloxwich depot (V.T.R. Bloxwich, West Midlands, 01922 406519) But you know how ‘reliable’ this information can be! Just because it’s painted up as belonging to their Bloxwich depot doesn’t mean it’s based there! VTR Group seem to be based at Didcot too.
As for other details, well, you can probably recognise more than I do!
