Best wheel wash in Oxfordshire, Smith’s Gill Mill quarry

Looks like Andrew’s chasing you so he can get his new trailer on camera. :wink:
Dad said the haul road’s been under water pretty much since new year.

It’s been like it for a long time mate just better some weeks, It’s been a lot worse than it is in these photos.

just a few more from morris’s

Hi Chris great pics , i can remember those BMC FFk units coming down to Pressed steel at Llanelli . regards Kieth .

Barry/Jakey, Barry here’s 1 for your Dad, some faces he’ll remember, Steve you will know 1 but you may know the others? I am holding my Tankard as it my leaving day, 5 year apprenticeship over, got my Class 1/ National & International CPCs & other stuff, this was a Friday & I went out on the Boat on Sunday night on my 1st run for Luker Bros to Italy! Great memories of my time on Leyland :smiley: Regards Chris

Another memory pic for your Dad Barry, both great blokes who are sadly no longer with us :frowning: , both taught me a great deal & I owe them a lot!

Barry ask your Dad if he remembers this, I was age 20 & had just passed my Class 1, so I bought this as a present to myself :smiley: , XJ6 4.2 Ltr, paid £1000 for it, why oh why did I ever sell it :unamused: :cry: , loved it! Regards Chris

Just had to buy this photo off ebay ,this was a contract I was on when on Brs Oxford , this Roadtrain was driven by Jock and was ran along side us with Bennets of Thame .,I would of thought she was a few years old here because around 1990 she was replaced with a 95 series .

I have yet to find one of our roadtrains in this colour scheme which I loved , but one of our roadtrains in the next livery.

Second livery which I did not like at all . (diffrent truck, different contractor )

I’m missing the banter, where has everybody gone? :cry: :cry:
