Another ex Telecom van languishing in the damp.
This time a Morris Minor, although i have since learnt
that some ‘Moggies’ in Telecom use ‘may’ have been labeled Austin, ?
Just one today, Buzzer

The parking brake on those Fords was an appalling bit of kit

Leyland Cruiser
The only one of its kind we had at Droitwich,
Driven by the late Ron Ritchie and Graham Hall.
Not a bad motor to drive, it went well. Its looks where ruined
some time later when it was repainted in Sainsbury orange.
Nice to see some of Bradshaws, and at least they are still operating trucks today.

They certainly were. There was a knack to using them…and releasing them when they stuck on.

Tucked away in Himbleton, Worcs, Eng
A BMC, FE/FF/FH tipper,
Looks as if it is badged as a Austin,
Burnetts of Portsmouth were regular carriers of cauliflower. The produce was brought from Brittany into
Portsmouth by Commodore Shipping. Burnetts lorries were often seen at wholesale fruit & vegetable
markets throughout the UK. The 2 fuel tanks indicate that this AEC did plenty of long journeys.
During my time driving for Robert Baillie from Horndean, I delivered many loads of Brittany cauliflower
to J .V . Whites, and Fitzpatricks in the wholesale fruit & vegetable market at Edge Lane, Liverpool. NMP.

What about all the road dirt Ray, you had to watch them crates as if a staple caught your finger you knew all about it you needed gloves when chucking them about, also the use of clap boards which spread the grab and prevented the ropes crushing into the boxes, cheers Buzzer.

All the ropes double hitched, but no front cross and it appears only one back one, unless that one in view actually goes across the back at the same level.
