DEANB:
Some of the old negatives Paul has been working on. Colour and black and white. You will see where the film has deteriated due to being
stored and not developed for 40 years. He is struggling with the colour but i think he has done a cracking job from old negatives.

Hi all,
Great photos as always gentlemen.Those late 1960âs six wheel units were a popular choice with many welsh steel hauliers,then the threatened weight increase never happened and nobody bought them until 1983 when we leapt from 32 tonnes on four axles to 38 on five or six.I think the green on the early B.S.C. Fleet was carried over from the old Steel Company Of Wales fleet ?
Regards Andrew.

Hey Dean and Paul ,you just spoil us Welsh lads ,the British Steel Atkinson Leader was based at the Orb steel plant in Newport ,the colours changed to blue after the steel industry was nationalised .
The Leaders followed on from 4X2 Atkinsons ,but my uncle can remember they had a ruck of Leyland Octopus
Dean the company R.S.Hill was from Cams Hall, Fareham they ran a small tidy fleet and Harvey may have even sold them that motor, also they had butchers shops IIRC, Buzzer
Hi Dean, As ever, I am grateful for the time and effort you put into this thread, and to
Paul and Mark for their supply of great pictures. I rather like the format of showing a
picture in both black & white and also in colour. I look forward to many more pictures.
Kind Regards, Ray.
Brilliant Dean once again echo everyoneâs sentiments about these latest photoâs. And thanks to you, Paul and Mark for transporting us back in time and bringing back memories and companies that we had forgotten about.
My short stint at Princeâs Commercials (Soton) Ltd (VOLVO dealer). I was asked to re design the livery for R.S. Hillâs new F10 (x2) purchases (Harvey HRS) to replace their F86âs. The one in the photo is a much later F12 version but the paint job remains.
R.S. Hill did caravan transport as Buzzer said. Butcherâs shop new on me but I did live in Fareham! They also did PMR radio sales and service (Broad Cut Ind.Est. Fareham) and have many farms centered around West Tisted Hants, a village which they own in entirety plus other farms (Cheesefoot Head, Winchester amongst others), hence the radio link for their farm equipment.
Two brothers were the owners but recently one passed away.
IIRC the 2 drivers of the F10âs were âThe Welsh Dragonâ and Alan Hall (now owner of Solutions Transport of Portsmouth) at the time.
Phew!
