Heres a surprise,another blue tipper with no name on it ! Any ideas “steam - Dorset”
Hi Dean, It looks like its a Drinkwater Sabey Volvo as the right colour for them, maybe they sold it to an owner driver, definitely not one of Eatons.

Chris Webb:
Hi Dean.
Transcare were distributors for Marks and Spencer,maybe part of Tibbet and Britten or National Carriers but not certain about that.The Sed Atki 300 tanker looks like it carries “Genklene” which was a dry cleaning agent made by ICI.It has a Leeds reg so maybe Tankfreight.
Thanks for the info/comments Chris. 
Heres one of Tibbet & Britten’s motors.

“DEANB”Anyone know what BTS stands for on the Mercedes ■■ Were Monarch a tyre manufacturer ■■
Hi Dean, Perhaps the BTS on the Mercedes-Benz 4 wheeler Monarch van means British Tyre Service ■■
Sounds like a winner Ray.
Heres an old advert for The North British Rubber Company from 1956.
Dorset:
Hi Dean
Nice lot of pictures,not sure if macbar had a bit of a yard on Nuffield ind estate
Think the Daf may of been on marks and spencer or st Michael (as it was known) contract and probably based at Thatcham.
Don’t think the blue Volvo was one of Eatons for a change unless steam can correct me!
Thanks for the comments “Dorset”. Your spot on about Macbar having a place on the Nuffield Estate found this pic after i posted
that one with the address on the door. Its amazing how many unsignwritten blue tippers were running around the Poole/Bournemouth
area back in the 70s/80s.

Dean B,
Hi Dean, I think AJT Recycling are based in Swansea, possibly Neath

Thanks for the info Allan.
Being an ex steel driver this pic may intrest you. A crane operating in a South Wales steel works,which i assume is Port Talbot ■■
Geordielad:
Thanks for the comments Franky. i take it you were in the Tank Regiment ? Were you based at Bovington Camp our of interest ?
Will pop some Army stuff on over the next few days.That one is the Scimitar, a light Recce tank, these would be forward of the heavier Tank Regiments, very fast and nippy. I was in the Royal Artillery, we did use Tanks but they were known as OP Tanks for Observation Post, reporting back targets to the Guns for them to fire on, known as Indirect Fire as the enemy would not be in view of the Guns and Direct Fire the term used when engaging enemy positions Tanks or Armour when they could be seen. The Self Propelled Guns such as the Abbot gave artillery support to Infantry and Armoured units in a Battlegroup. The Guns needed to be Self Propelled basically meaning mechanised as opposed to towed Artillery, to keep up with our Armoured units, these were always used in Germany as part of the NATO defences. Lighter towed artillery tended to be based in the UK and available to be air transported anywhere in the world if needed, hence the Latin motto of the Royal Artillery Ubique, meaning Everywhere. I was based in Germany, Catterick and Aldershot where my unit did a Parachute support role and was involved in the Falklands War although I had left about a year before this but my older Brother who was in the same Regiment went. The 40th Anniversary of that conflict will be in April this year. Franky.
Thanks for the comments Franky,intresting stuff chap. Dont know much about military vehicles but will pop some stuff on.
Heres a Mighty Antar that you will be familiar with. Used to see loads of these going back and forth to Bovington camp when i was
a kid. Now alot of the tanks are moved by contractors vehicles or the Oshkosh. If you are intrested in the Antar theres stuff about
them on pages 273,409 and 437.
kmills:
That’s Roger Gool- Aka Roger Rabbit.
I made the fuel tanks for Roger on that FH, as pictured on the inside cover of Long Haul Pioneers.
I also made tanks for a 143 that he ran too - I think Ro might have done a trip to the gulf in that one…Cheers all,
Keith
Thanks for the input Keith.

BP ERF tanker.Thanks Dean, that is a picture of my Dad, who was based at Hamble until 1993. Prior to this he was at both Gloucester and Bridgewater depots, which both closed down. Another picture of same lorry.
Always nice when someone see’s a motor they know,and nice that your dad was driving it !
BP used Trunkers at one time.

Yes! I did run with one of Rabbit’s FHs; and on another trip I encountered Roger driving (I think) the 143. We were queueing to get into Syria from Turkey.
Hope you’re keeping well Keith
Heres a bit about Astrans first trip.

No, you’re spot on Buzzer. Only a small outfit doing mainly traction work if I remember rightly. They had ERFs and MAN’s too…
The Volvo F7 low lowder is one of Osgerbys from Barton upon Humber. They have a few preserved lorries and steamers.
