Given the position of the pipe I thought it may be an Air Freshener!

This brings back memories of my youth, the Minneapolis-Moline tractor that is, a local farmer had one.

Here’s my old friend Sid Hewson when we worked on the Castrol contract in the 80s/90s. I wonder if he’s still around? He will be getting on a bit now, aren’t we all? Regards Kev.

I think I took this shot at Ingliston mid 90’s, this should bring back memories for Eddie from Sanquhar (ERFguy). Regards Kev.

On second thoughts it could be Carlisle Truckstop, but I could be wrong again

Cracking photo Kev, This Leyland is a 1948 Reg & has been recabbed with the later Mouth Organ Leyland Model, It looks in supurb condition to say the least, Top brownie points to its owner, Regards Larry.

Larry, Thats the owner shielding his eyes from the sun, Jim Doig from Dumfries, that old Beaver can certainly perform especially when it hits a steep bank, I followed it over Carter Bar southbound last summer when it showed a Shearings coach driver the way home, he had been itching to get past on the level but the Beaver walked away from him climbing over the summit. Hendersons of Alston ERF in the background.
Cheers Leyland 600
