I spotted some familiar faces in a rather rotund Mr Grimshaw and doom and gloom Donald. 
Hi woodyinfrance you disturbed the grey cell there mate and welcome to the forum was the lad on the wash at the port Ellwyn and I lad I knew for a long time was at Tommy Allens then Norco which turned in to P.L. Transtore he then went on his own with a couple of MAN s for Britannia oil in Birkenhead when he was on Allens he used to have Everton flag in his cab which I think was a mamouth major unit.I knew davie when I was on Pickfords heavys and when I went to Sykes Bulk Liquids I ran with quite often.

This is a Harold Wood truck, I started for them in 1978 at Thornaby, got made redundant in Nov 1980. This had a ■■■■■■■ (220 I think) and a David Brown 6 speed, took some winding up but on a motorway I could get it round to the stop on the speedo, (70mph no tachos then!) I have posted this elsewhere but should be on this thread as well. Regards, Mizzo.

Dave’s tanker trivia question…
Has anybody noticed a markings error?
I do apologise for not having spotted this much sooner.
Sniffy:
On Hazchems / without UN… specifically It appears to display a HIN rather than an EAC in the hazchem panelIf not, perhaps in need of a refresher…or a clue !!
Absolutely spot-on Sniffy, UK Hazard Warning Panels must use an EAC, so we don’t need a HIN!! 
Or, in other words, the “22” in the top part of the board should read “2T” instead.

Thats correct Sniffy, Harold Woods was becoming Tankfrieght when I started, we had most of the Phillips 66 contract, there were other hauliers on the contract, I think the one with the most trucks after us was John Formans soon to become part of P+O. Regards, Mizzo.

Hi Sniffy, Think that Pic was at a company called FILMCO at Sedgefield N/east Winter 84/5 I think? well memory is not what it was.
I don’t remember Filmco like that, when I went it was a block wall where you blew the sample through the wall, they rang a bell when they had enough, they then rang the bell again when they wanted you to tip. I only did powders into there though.
Sniffy, do you remember Hill gas, TF had a barrel in their colours working out of Immingham. Do you have any pictures of it? My old man used to drive it for a while.
