Great pictures as ever John. I assume that the F reg Volvo of Craig Transport must be one of the earliest of that model in the UK.

Hiya Ray,
Hutchinsons of Wark-on-Tyne put the very first F86 into service in the UK which was supplied through Taits of Haydon Bridge it was “E” registered and I recall it running regularly down the A6 loaded with Pulp wood from Kielder to Bowaters Ellesmere Port.
Cheers Dennis
PS I believe it is now owned by Volvo and sits in pride of place at their HQ.

Thank you for your information Dennis, the first Volvo F86 that I saw was about 1968/69,
It belonged to Entress Transport from South Wales, leaving H.J.Heinz at Kitt Green near
Wigan, coupled to a 32 ft flat trailer, sheeted and loaded with 20 tons of Heinz products.

Cheers, Ray Smyth.

Nice selection Buzzer
Astor wax had a plant at Manchester. I have delivered in to the plant late 60s early 1970s. I am sure Smith and Robinsons had a couple of motors on contract then Pickfords / Tankfrieght had taken over early 1970s.

The photo on the previous page of the Sun Valley Volvo F86 is one of Paul Gee’s but someone has cropped his name off.
