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.
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 Regards Chris
Another memory pic for your Dad Barry, both great blokes who are sadly no longer with us , 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 , XJ6 4.2 Ltr, paid £1000 for it, why oh why did I ever sell it
, 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.
I’m missing the banter, where has everybody gone?
Recovering a Daf tanker from last weeks’ fatal RTC on the A420 near Buckland.
where has everyone gone this site was found loitering on page 3 but then again there has been some crackers found on page 3 over the years although a different publication altogether

I remember when he used to be such a clean-cut young man, a mere slip of a lad

I remember that one coming into Wolverhampton repair centre when it was new to get painted before being sent to Oxford.
Hi Trevor , yes I know we spoke before about this unit , I never saw it being used on the road , by the time I got to Oxford depot she was off the contract , Barry Freeman bjf on the forum also ex Oxford depot fitter told me she pulled this trailer (picture attached ),it use to go under a low arch at OUP in Oxford .
