Interesting shot of one of Fluen’s transport on the bridge, got a feeling they were from Andover IIRC cheers Buzzer.PS. thought you would have a picture of a SEDatki as you are on page 401.
Think you are right about Fluen’s coming from Andover Buzzer. Why did you mention the 401 was going to post something else
but i suppose you are right ,never thought about it,being page 401.

“DEANB”Raleigh Leyland Buffalo.
looking at these pics notice how calm traffic was back then,lot better than todays rat race.Indeed “ergomatic man” much better back then to drive. Awful these day.
These pics from the 1970’s show how much nicer it was to drive rather than today.

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.
Philips owned Mullards who were originally valve manufacturers. In the North West, they had plants in Burnley and two in Southport - one in Butts Lane, Blowick (which later became a bakery) near where I live and the other larger plant was in Balmoral Drive, Crossens, where two of my Grandparents worked. It was built next to the old Vulcan works and was a very large employer in the town.

Don’t want to be pedantic, but I reckon that’s a 68/69 on a G.
I had an identical model on an H.
Nice pics Dean, as with everything the older stuff is always more interesting than the modern gear.
As for wagons, do you have any K transport services, Phil Jenkins, Fosters of Cannock? Im more interested in filling some gaps in my collection of Lovells hauliers.
