Hi, Gavin,
The company may have been Axwell, from Broxburn, the driver Bobby Marr?.

Hi Gavin,I have been searching the old grey matter and guess what Dave Mackie beat me to it. I also am pretty sure it was Axwell of East Mains Industrial estate in Broxburn. One of their drivers was Tommy Alston who later worked for Scomo of Musselburgh. He was a laugh a minute, one night while waiting for a ferry from Zeebrugge, there were a few of us in the upstairs resturaunt when Tommy got talking to a german driver, the subject got round to the second world war and Tommy said he knew why Rommel had lost the north African campaign.The German fell into the trap and asked tommy why. Tommy replied because Hitler had taken his Shell card off of him. The table erupted in laughter, but the german was not amused. Regards Jamie.

Hi all, those names don’t ring any bells but that doesn’t mean a lot these days!

Hi Wheelnut
How was it running thru Yugo before the the split? I have been to Bosnia, Kosovo,Slovenia and Croatia since the split but Yugoslavia as one country was before my time. I hear so many differant views from drivers who either hated or loved parking up there!! Frank used to tell me of parking up in the National hotel in Belgrade and said the same as you about the bullitts in the guns 
.Personally im not sure if i would take that chance but i suppose you wouldnt no until you put on the spot?

Hi Brian
Iam just trying to get to grips with posting pictures on here 
tam,
Just a wee bit big, but never mind you’ll get there. 
Hi, a good photo of Alec Peat and George Scott standing beside the Eskside Intl Daf. I last seen Alec In Mosul when i helped him out of hospital after a major operation. I believe he flew home from Baghdad and had more surgery in scotland. I have often enquired about him but nobody seemed to know where he was or how he is. I last saw George Scott in halley’s yard at Braintree when he had returned from russia with Frank Whites F16. I First met them both when they subbed for Dobson of edinburgh in the early seventies. regards Jamie.

Jeez he never changes, still got the shirt wide open!!! Mind you the shirts are a bit more mellow with age 
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Falcongate 
.
Didn’t they have a depot in Aberdeen ? , I can remember running with a Scottish lad called Gordon who was based in Aberdeen.
I know that they used to have a depot in Birkenhead but I thought that they were originally a Scottish company who in later years closed the depot in Aberdeen and moved the operation down to Birkenhead. I remember loading pipes for a drilling rig in Southern Turkey once in Great Yarmouth and I think that had something to do with Falcongate.
Regards Steve.
