Norfolktrucker,two questions, who is that bloke in front of Lanham’s F10 and where was the photo taken? Regards Haddy.

Hello again,heres something from way back…Cheers Bubbs
Although I never ventured “ower the watter” those Ackworth trailers bring back memories of the best job I ever had. It’s twenty years exactly this friday just gone since I finished for the Onward/Ackworth group, and to be honest I still miss it. Strangely enough I met an old Ackworth hand on wednesday last week,I was doing a days casual work for E&N Ritchie of Hetton, (est 1898) and I back loaded near Selby. The managers name was Dennis Womersley, he was ( I think) manager of the South Kirkby depot in the 90s. regards Kevmac47.
Hi Bubbs, just a few photos of some tippers that Nash Morgan Built ( Whitecroft, Forest Of Dean.)
I remember those Scammell Townsman’s of Harveys occasionally running through Reading on the old A4 back in the '60’s, they ran between Bristol and London (and folk complain about Robinsons Foden Half cabs eh)! 
Pete.

Were they before or after the Scarab Pete ? They look a bit wider than the Scarab’s that Bulmers had running around Hereford.
Cheers Dave.

The Leyland Beaver of Vinyl Products is a blast from the past. I went in their place in Carshalton a few times with vinyl acetate from BP Saltend and Baglan Bay.

Production of the Scarab ceased in 1967 and was replaced with the Scammell Townsman that now featured a fibreglass cab. The Townsman utilized many developments in large vehicles including vacuum-assisted hydraulic brakes and although the same automatic coupling feature was used this now used a vacuum operated release mechanism rather than a hand lever found in earlier models. Despite numerous improvements the Townsman was mainly only sold to British Rail and the Royal Mail and production ended in 1968.
Found the answer on Wikipedia Pete.If that was an April fool,nice one .
Cheers Dave.
Definately not an April Fool Dave, they came through a few times! Normally it was Foden Twin Loads that they used so I can only assume that these were emergency deliveries as they were hardly designed for a 200+ miles round trip.

Foden Twin Loads, now there was an idea before its time. Not in the UK of course (unless Denby have their way) but they were the basis for the idea of B-double/triple trains. A 5th wheel and semi trailer behind a load platform. Only difference was they used an 8 legger for the prime mover instead of another semi.

Haddy, I’ve no idea where the photo was taken, Blokes surname is Oliver, comes from Attleborough. worked for Foulger & Russel Davies as well as Lanhams. But thats as much as I can tell you.
Another couple.
Cheers Bubbs,
Great stuff Marcus !

hiya,
Didn’t Blamires of Preston get pulled back in the mid 60s for operating 8 wheelers pulling a dolly
then a semi-trailer they was sending them to Glasgow on night trunk, and didn’t the offence
bring about their demise ■■.
thanks harry long retired.
