Hi Nathan , Wilkinsons were at Milton park and FEDERAL EXPRESS then FED EX took them over .
I drove for Wilkinson’s out of Nuneaton, had an S/A with a 290 ■■■■■■■■ flyer, looking at the reg on that was it a 180 Gardner?
Hi Keith , the only Crusader left on the Brs Oxford fleet was the wrecker ,but I once saw a old service schedule which showed about five were on the fleet at one time , one was a early l reg and the rest around m to p reg . We were still doing the llaneli day and night trunk in to the late 80s I think , Ivor parry did nights and Bernard Woodward did days on a ex Hereford Scania .

I can remember them well at Llanelli , did not know any of the drivers though . Bet you can remember the Crusaders of Hughes Llanelli as well ? thanks again regards Keith
Good morning Keith
The Crusaders were gone and there were only a few Marathons left including the one pictured TAG 56 , when I was 16 and in the workshops this wagon was driven by Albert Hall but I am not sure if it was his wagon he had every day , it was not as good as this when I last saw it , we also had TAG 61 middle east sleeper , 67 and 68 and 84 day cabs , also 66 sleeper .
