Hi bumper, all pictures are welcome and yes that was Longman Road at the junction with Henderson Road that I took the photos. I had a look at Google Streetmap and this link maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=49+long … 7.484073,- shows No 49 as now being the BP Service Station approximately, click on the picture left for a better view.

Leyland600:
Quite right oilreader all about vehicle length and ferry tariff, its a case of “never mind the length, see the hight” !! Jim Holland the Stronsay based haulier has three of these DAF CF tractor units converted to operate as rigid tippers or flats alternatively as an artic tractor unit when the need arises. These units normally complete more sea miles per day than road miles delivering good on their home isle or other neighbouring isle travelling daily on the morning ferrys into Kirkwall sometimes delivering isle produced goods or livestock then loading supplies of all types for the North Isles of Stronsay, Eday, Sanday, Westray and returning on the afternoon ferry. He also has a very short Volvo FL 6 with container. As Eddie erfguy states they are made in Ireland. Regards Leyland 600321

Hi Leyland600,
Just been looking through Rod Simmonds collection and found this, you will recognise the livery from your travels in that area of NZ.
