No Problem mate, used to see them Zanussi trailers up and down the A34 so presumed they was from your neck of the woods,

I always thought they were London based? Used to see their Fords and Bedfords all around the Thames Valley area in the fifties and sixties collecting the grains for the brewerys.

I was an apprentice at FM Risley in the 80’s and one of my jobs was respraying both units and tilts. The famous yellow btw is called Middle Chrome. I went home most nights with it up my nostrils and in my lug holes! I also mastered the art of fitting those humungus flags! Mind you, I did get to drive a lot of weird and wonderful stuff though for a 16 year old lad - my first ever truck being a LHD Volvo F7. Happy days - well, some were!

I don’t know who the F10 belongs to but look at the state of that LO-COST shed with tail lift ram cover missing,MFS had a couple of 28ft single axle trailers like it for “oss and cart” delivery points,full of scrapes and dents.
I remember Lo cost having a depot at Queensferry in Deeside and Western Transport from Avonmouth ran trunks to and from there. Fair to say some of their tackle was rough!

Oh aye,the other is a different James. Thanks for that jshepguis.
Nice to see the Hammonds Scania… They were from my Hometown Sittingbourne in Kent. My first driving job was as a subbie for Hammonds in 1989. Looks like he’s got Knauf plasterboard on as they were the main haulier when Knauf set up a factory at Ridham Dock.

They were called James & son ,specialized in grains(animal feeds) ,the Foden in the photo i believe was from their Northampton depot , They also had lorries based Scarborough, Peterborough, Reading & another James company operation in Australia…
If i recall correctly the uk company was acquired by a company called Duynie around 2015 …
Hope this is of interest.
Regards
