Pete I think the Volvo on page 5 behind the sed Atki could be Georges Transport from iirc wingerworth ?
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the info on the Volvo, those Don-Bur slopers was a strong but light trailer, had a Foden with 14 ltr ■■■■■■■ and one of those Don-Burs and it tared in at 12.700, not a bad payload at 38 ton gross!

1James Booth was founded in the early 1900’s, as coal merchants to the people of Bolton.
Still in business today they recently put five new Volvo FM 6x2 tractor units with factory-fitted lightweight mid-lift axles into service.

Hi Dean,
An attempt at weight saving by removing the bumper?!
Steetleys like Hoveringham had a big fleet so plenty of choice/new motor’s to photograph for the adverts. Pete

Hi Chris,
I don’t think it is one of Alf Arrowsmiths, cannot remember him having any Scania’s, can’t make out the name on the door even with the Mrs glasses on!
A few more for you, stuck in yard at work, Police have shutdown the area as someone has been stabbed, lovely Wolverhampton eh?
The Fl10 artic tipper has a livery similar to Bassetts Roadways,but I don’t know if they ran Volvos.
