Graham Newton was also on Comarts for a while, had one of the Scania’s(if its the same one) came back from Austria with him in it when my Mum was with Dad and me, I think Eddie Deville was on longton as well before he went on Comarts

no mate it’s not steve.and if your mick baileys youngest last time i saw you was about 20 years or more ago playing on the forklift with roger & paul and terry greens lad when you was on school hols
hiya tertragaz…hows things mate???theres a nice 1965 ex woodwards(macc) 6 legger ERF in Shirleys that would perhaps be worth a rebuild
HEH the F 88 is a sorryful thing now.but there are a few that would sell and rebuild.theres a rough big J with a 180 and about four 4 wheeler ERFs
worth a look and some Albions but the cabs have gone to far…heres HEH last year I found a cab but the chap changed his mind to sell the cab.
The Smallwood show show is at the end of may this year.

Do you know if the ex Woodward 6 wheel LV (LTU 922C) is still there John?. Did it survive the recent clear out?.
I have a photo of a sister Woodward LV, also a 65 C reg 6 wheeler when new.
