Cheers for that.Dean.
The trucks I drove pulling for Ewals in their colours were MANs (including the older models) a DAF, and a Scania on an R reg.
I think you put one up a few months ago, an XXL MAN, but it was not one the motors that I drove…but I keep living in hope mate.
The pic with the left ■■■■■■ Scania Topliner was my era, they belonged to MTC (Mega trucking co) based in Zeebrugge and a depot at Alconbury, my ex guvnor in Colchester broke away from MTC, most drivers were Brit drivers home based.

The blue F7 eight legger is one of Rayvens Transport from Halesowen. Still in business I believe.

Hi Dean Mullards had a factory in Southampton on the right as you went into the town and they were part of the Philips group.
As for SFM specialist freight movements they had a yard near Cobden bridge in Southampton and had a contract out of ISR in Fawley refinery doing synthetic rubber to packing units at Membury airfield and at Yatesbury run by Sym’s of Calne. I had two trucks on that work back then, two loads up and one back of salt stored at Yatesbury every day and we knew every pothole on that road that’s for sure. Buzzer

Dave.

They were a famous electronics components manufacturer especially known for their cathode ray tubes used in TV’s and wartime radar development.There was also Rediffusion at Chessington which was another big domestic TV manufacturer.

[pete_smith]

Morning Dean,
D.Doyle was a demolition company based in Birmingham and Pete Windrush is correct regarding the F7 belonging to Rayven transport of Halesowen.
Thank you also for the Sammy Jones’s feature, Cookie1 is your man to comment on those! Cheer’s Pete

[oiltreader]

Mullard stuck a chord , in my youth and pre electric we had a Cossor wireless complete with Mullard radio valves and a wet battery called an accumulator.

[chris_webb]

Wasn’t that Mullard artic one of London Carriers who contracted for Phillips group? I saw them on A1 when I was on nights.London Carriers had a depot in Blackburn as well.Maybe the Phillips group owned London Carriers?

The ERF with the XTRA box is one of George Davies from Liverpool.

Dean,I recognise the F7 artic tanker but can’t think whose it is,sorry.

[windrush]

Were Mullard based at the Hatfield area? I used to caravan with an old lad (now deceased) who was an apprentice there before the war and cycled to the factory from Camberley on Sundays and cycled back home on Friday evening, he slept at the factory during the week!

Pete.

Happy New Year Chris ! Your right London Carriers were owned by Philips but I believe they did a certain amount of third party work for other customers. IIRC Philips had a factory in Burnley. Cheers Dennis.

Happy New Year Dennis ! Some of their trailers had London Carriers signed up as London and Blackburn I’m sure.I think they did a changeover at Newton Aycliffe late 70s/early 80s.

Its amazing what people have, and do to earn a living. Although sleeping at the factory was no different i suppose than sleeping in a truck
all week !
