disappeared i thought they had some of the best looking fleets.

William Kirk ERF. Think it says Macclesfield on the door ■■

Anyone recognise Foden.

The Fodens bumper has been knocked about a bit in the pic above. Thought this advert from 1962 went well with it.

4

The writing on the headboard and door says Glyn John, so not sure if they have just put the wrong name with regard to
Stewart Powell ■■? (click on clipping twice.)

Anyone recognise the DAF tanker on the Tamar bridge.

Most of us on here will have driven a truck over the Tamar bridge and apart from the view you dont really think about it !

However these suspension bridges are an awesome piece of construction.

I do like a good brochure. This in my opinion is a very intresting read.

Click on pages twice.

[chris_webb]

Hi Dean.

[pete_smith]

Morning Dean,
Cracking article about the Tamar bridge and Torpoint ferries, thank you posting.
I may be wrong about this but there was a W.Pallant based in Nechells Lane in Wolverhampton, the Grandson is still in business, A.W Pallant, Cheer’s Pete

CAT 740 judging by the size of it, they build them up north in Peterlee Dean, it’s Dickinson that brings the new ones to the docks for export, a familiar sight on the M1.
Never liked loading those things, because you’re off centre in the cab, so it’s bit of a guess when you drive up on the trailer. Lot of getting out and luck when you’re on your own…

I like how they painted that “markerboard” on the tyre, haven’t seen that for a while!

Thanks Dean, that brought back a few memories. I passed the old works at Irvine last year, sad to see it all overgrown and disused but slowly the area is being rebuilt.
I hung up my driving boots last September as 5 days of CPC at £450 + £115 medical for the Sunday afternoon shift ( nothing to do with being 75 ) hardest thing was sending off my licence renewal dropping the HGV element. Trust you are both ok !! Harvey

[ray_smyth]

Hi Dean, I remember LEC Fridges, they were from Bognor Regis. Occasionally, if Robert Baillie were
short of fruit market work for the Northwest, they would do a load of chest freezers from LEC at
Bognor Regis for delivery to the LEC Northern depot in Burnley. Baillies needed 3 artics minimum per
weekday up to Wigan depot, because of the contract with H.J.Heinz at Kitt Green, for 2 x 20 ton
loads down to Heinz at Harlesden, London, NW10, and a full load to Heinz at Southampton.

Cheers, Ray.

Buzzer:
Hi Dean could the 143 belong to Fred Sherwood from Nottingham, looks like it could be Buzzer

evening everyone,
not wishing to throw water over Buzzers unprecedented knowledge of the industry, I can confirm it is not one of Sherwood’s. it is actually a Richard Hutchings of Taunton and previously owned by Westfields from Truro…info located at this link……. lorryspotting.com/newsArtic … 1123958246

Fred Sherwood is long gone,is son Alan runs the job, although could be sons of now. Any ways buzzer was on it but slightly lighter shade of yellow, so maybe not. One things for sure,if somebody made it they’d drive it.

Well spotted “ergomatic man”. I have made a note of “ergo” and will pop some stuff on about them in the next week.

Thanks for confirming Patrick. Good point you make about the cab being off centre when trying to load one. Imagine loads have come
to grief that way over the years ! I dont suppose you actually have much tyre actually on the trailer,most of it i imagine is hanging
over the side. You haven been paying attention Patrick as you have not commented on the Crusader pic i popped on a
page or two back ■■?

Dont blame you Harvey that CPC course is enough to make anyone want to give up driving !
