Hi Dean,

Post the truck would be good

[paul_john]

Hi Dean and marktaff. Yes Dean, those Gulliver’s photo’s certainly brought back memories. I remember Axminster Transport and enjoy Cliff’'s thread.
Taunton Meat Haulage which shows a Deutz of theirs and there was another company down that way, not Harding’s the name escapes me but they had a nice fleet of Volvo’s. The cabs were a shade of burgundy!
Mark, Clytha Transport were from Newport as you said, based in a scrap yard not far from the docks. Not sure if they had a scrap metal business or just provided transport. They had a bunch of B series ERF 8 wheelers and a few Deutz’s as well. They also worked on the coal.

Double post!

[hrs]

Good morning dean,
Thanks for posting the article on Meachers transport, great read.
I remember when the boat show came to Southampton Bob ( at the Westquay road site) would have all the trucks parked up all over Southampton and he would sit on a stool by a sign, PARKING FOR THE SHOW taking a fiver from each car that came in, dont know why but know one else was ever allowed to do that job. “from little acorns eh!” A very nice chap. Harvey

[erf-ngc-european]

Isn’t this the one Jimski drove? He made a prize-winning 1:24 model of it, on display at Gaydon last weekend. Robert

[smallcoal]
