hi marcus 22
The Bobby Pickering you mentioned who drove for Elddis, do you know if he drove for Grady Hall previous to them.
there was a Bobby Pickering worked there shortly after passing his test iirc he drove an old leyland six wheel tipper with an LAD cab on.
regards
Mick

I think your right gurty as the wings and part of the doors are channel green and they were only on the B/C reg F7’s and because the number plate is high on the grill its got to be C901LNL possibly Tony Cooper driving it ■■ KG3

To be honest I think it was after my time!. I drove TFT497Y which was an F10 down the road during the miners strike. I drove F7,s before that but mainly at West Chevington on the opencast, we also led out of Monkton to a site just along the road forget the name it was given . Was the Derek you refer to a “BIG” lad.We used to travel up to Chevington every morning in an old sherpa van I think it had a single cylinder lister in it!!! used to be pergatory but had a good laugh, lads I remember as I have a photo somewhere that keeps surfacing of us in the van were Topper , Sid little old Tony and others and Billy drove the van, his son had just started driving , happy days

Your right there Larry, Bobby Dixon was the Pallet pincher, (RIP). Dave Tillson (pic of him at the gathering) had the FAT1 plate in his windscreen.
