Me uncle on for REEMA
Seeing all these has reminded me of sitting around the table in our Saudi ‘Villa’.
One of the lads had just returned, so had a little cloud over his head, but of course we were all anxious to hear what he’d been up to during his three weeks in Blighty.
He was discussing how voluptuous was this girl he’d gone out with. He reduced us to helpless laughter with ‘She had ■■■■■■■ like Scammell starter buttons!’

Some more Routeman Tipper pics
Good to see Davies of Llanarmon , they ran quite a few Routemans , the one next to it , i think is ex Amey roadstone from the Oswestry area , thank you Trevor
A few more from NA3T
Here’s one that was available a few years ago, used regularly (every day) but never did much more than two miles a day !! It was used to replenish the fishing boats in Mallaig harbour, Scotland. They loaded it from railway tankers, it crossed the road to the pier filled up the fishing boats and just stood around most of the time…the perfect candidate for restoration. Anyone know what happened to it?..I believe it had a Leyland engine.

I have got this picture of the same vehicle, Reg MGC 999L, I know not when or where it was taken.I Think it must of still been in full time service when it was taken,looking at the picture.
