Hi Dean, I had a little chuckle when I looked at your Volvo F88 adverts. From the mid 1970s,
and for many years after, I used to listen to Terry Wogan on BBC Radio 2 whilst driving the
lorry. At the time that the lorries of " Ferrywagon " were seen quite often, Terry would say
that they were his lorries, and that his vehicle signwriter had mis-spelt his name.

The name on the J & G Riddell from Aberdeenshire amused me, was he Jimmy Riddell ■■
I had many a Jimmy Riddle at the nearside of the lorry if I couldn’t find a public convenience.

Regards, Ray.

Posted a photo on here a couple of weeks ago of a Masters eight wheeler and asked if anyone had heard of them. Someone replied, sorry can’t remember who but they suggested they may have been Masters from? Well I’ve found another photo which proves you were probably correct. It looks overloaded to me!
