One from your neck of the woods Dean

Dont see many trailers with doors at the front nowadays, presume they were used for carrying carpets ?

[pushrod47]

Hi DEANB. Could the Scania belong to Crows 1971 Ltd, it has a North East Reg No. & I believe
they bought out Whites from the Durham area. Cheers pushrod47.

What year was the article? Wondering how old the Scammell was at the time.

Chris Webb:
Chris Webb may know about this ERF as although it says Beefeater on the wind deflector i think it says something else on the door ■■

Morning Dean.

That’s a new one on me,I don’t recall ever seeing a Beefeater Gin tanker before.Unit has what looks like a VS Luton reg plate and I’d guess at the hazchem board displaying 1170 Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol).Incidentally I think Whitbreads had/have a big site at side of M1 near Luton,maybe Beefeater is one of their brands? I can’t make out the wording on the tank side.

Thanks for your comments Chris,not often you dont know chap.

Kempston:

It could also be a contract unit being used for a different job, happens frequently with some of the bigger companies.

True Kempston.

Thanks for the pic Rob. I have that pic somewhere think its the front of a brochure,anyway i have no idea who that company was or
where they were based in Wareham. Dont even remember ever seeing that motor. “steam” may recognise it if he pops on.

You could be right about the Scania below belonging to Crows ? The only Crows i know is Crow Carrying with the tankers.
I thought the 112 looked fairly similar to the older 111,bit more red on the 111 ?
