And to you and yours, Dennis. I finished there Friday night and I’m starting on for AW Cleaver on Jan 3rd, driving a Scania 8wheeler. Same sort of work. They’re building a classic fleet too*. It appears Callum may get some Saturday training as kids are allowed in the vehicles. 
*Will have to keep my wagon clean to get a sniff around a '54 Mammoth Major tanker. 
9.6 or 11.3 Muckaway? Or haven’t you been close enough to find out yet? We need more details and possibly photos, please.
Tell the lad I’ve just spotted a red flashing nose in the sky over Fairford.
ROF from Sprog’s:

I think it’s the 11.3 mate. I’ll see if Google throw anything up. That red light could be a U2…Bono in a sleigh.
11.3, 6-speed box- proper lorry!
I’ve told Bloke-Who-Married-the-Sprog who you’re starting for. He’ll keep an eye out for you. Works as site foreman for David Horton.
Hope you & yours have a great Christmas.
Here she is ROF.
Not wishing to be picky but I’d rather a Mk5 if there’s one around going spare.
Chris (adr) or JAKEY might know these guys, I’ve lightened it up a bit.

Well, she’s in the spray-shop getting her new red/black livery. Mr Cleaver Jnr has fixed my “knackered” cb. The Canadian plate’s been cleaned and straightened to go on the front, “Nathan” plate’s in the window and the flag of Oxfrodshire’s in the back window…
…I’m even thinking of a couple of local shows this year too.

Wonder what price bookies would give on how long it will be before you start slagging them off!!! 10/1 two/three weeks.

They must be worried too, I’m running to a site in Aylesbury that I used to deliver to on Earthline. Break me in gently. My wagon’s becoming mine on Thursday, all going well. Got the pound shop polish ready…
First day went very well, Home and indoors by 4.30.
And the wagon? 06 reg P420 currently in Leedale livery. Half leather seats, goes like the clappers, weighloader, auto tailgate and a lovely chrome button on the dashboard that scares tourists when pressed 
My actual wagon debuts end of the week I believe, and I think that has two air horns.
Nearly a week in and apart from the traffic problems caused by Oxford leaving the taps running, it’s quite possibly the easiest tipper job I’ve done.
Oh go on then I’ll have a moan about one thing, I have to get in the back on occasions with a 1RB.
I’ve got this until tomorrow night when this will be tidied up and resprayed, and I get mine. The interior is unbelievable for an 06 reg. I’ve been a bit OCD this week with keeping it as I found it.

So where’s all the photos of the new one, then? Still polishing, I s’pose?
Not a very clear pic but just found it in another box, from my days on Leyland Transport, Cowley. Taken in our yard (BJ Henry’s old yard) early 80s!
