Spardo:
I do like the Yeoman F88, is that a crew cab or an extended sleeper?I assume it’s not an 89 due to the position of the wipers. And kerb mirror.
I am surprised though given the nature of their work, I think my beloved 89, without extension but also without passenger seat, was an R reg also. But I could be wrong.
“Spardo” just checked and the vehicle is SORN so assume it is still around, checked for MOT and it is not at present tested so maybe in a collection some where, Buzzer

Sandiacre, Derbyshire alert for Punchy Dan, big biscuit spill best you go and get yours now before the rush starts Buzzer
An aerial image of the Menai Bridge leading over to The Isle Of Anglesey on the right
of the picture. It would be interesting to know what percentage of Trucknet members,
particularly lorry drivers of past and present have actually driven across this bridge.
Me and my drivers regularly delivered Rank Hovis flour to bakers shops on the island,
and also to RAF Valley helicopter base where Prince William was based and lived nearby.
The picture is from Matt Hoyle on the Bootle History Forum.

Just along the road from my old yard, too late by about 50 years sadly. I like a nice biscuit, now and again. 
No wonder their are no Digestives in the shops.

I certainly did for one Ray, used to go there in the 80s, can’t remember what the company was but certainly a massive organisation, had a couple of nights out on there too.
I was riding shotgun on Foden push/pull rig taking steel joists to Wylva power station from Redpath Dorman Long’s in Trafford Park,crazy days!

Southern Comfort,what a motor. Its a FB88 and was converted by the owner Paul Hammond who has unfortunately died.
He popped a F12 engine in it. Last i heard it was still owned by the family and parked up under cover.

I did a couple of trips over the bridge in a petrol engine Bedford T.K. back in the sixties.
You might of seen the yellow Westland Wessex search and rescue helicopters that operated out of R.A.F. Valley as you plodded up the A5 but Valley used to be a fast jet training station.

0Was this one better than the Hillman Husky?
In my opinion, yes. Nice peppy engine for the time. Half decent heaters too!

Thanks! After all, Ford Anglias managed their way on to the Continent, even to France where Hillmans remained unknown.
