Hi oily is that you with a smart looking Regent,? I am sure I have come across this bus down at Polle I think in the late 1970s when it (or one of its sisters) was transferred from Provincial of Gosport ownership or perhaps King Alfred Motor Services, Salisbury to Hants and Dorset at Poole depot.
Cheers,
Leyland 600

Love these Steve :smiley: NFC 156T was Roger ‘Trucker’ Shayler’s wagon. Very touchy about his motor was Roger, hated anyone else driving it! The Freighters started arriving a while after I had left & had gone onto Luker’s, although Jim Grey (RIP) had one FCW 329W, I’ve got a pic of it somewhere I will dig it out. Chris

Hi Steve, was it a Mastiff we saw at Rush Green or one of the Boxer’s that used to be on internals with those little 24’ single-axle trailers? As for the chap with the long hair you mentioned I think that would have been Paul Crowther :bulb: He used to prefer local/internals, he used to unload the single-axle seat frame containers that used to come up from South Wales, he had a 2nd man/mate on that job called Pete Siggers, wore glasses & smoked a pipe.
