Hi again,good pics lads…well done,heres todays stuff,Cheers Bubbs, 
Hello all,
I was intgrigued by this one, is it an LAD Comet? I thought it looked like a Commer CA to start with but then noticed the Leyland badge below the NS rear lights.
A South West one also, maybe Somerset?

Greetings,All.The Bulk feed lorry could be an Albion owing to the long door.The LAD cab Comet had a short door.Also,the silencer looks like an Albion one.Hope this helps.Regards,900x20. 
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I bet it will be an Albion Chieftain with the 4 cyl engine or even a Clydesdale.But why has it got a Leyland badge on the rear end? 
Like you say the comet had short doors.
Deffo not a Comet.

Hi again lads,heres todays stuff…has the Guy in the first pic got a north east reg number?..I wonder who had it prior to being sold.Cheers Bubbs,
hiya,
Just clocked this one, the Big J, I think if you scrape the top coat
of paint off you’ll find it’s painted BRS orange and go a bit deeper
the blue of Tayforth Caledonian it looks very much like one of the
old girls from the Consett Depot could be wrong but the reg looks
familiar and if so there’s a 99.9 chance I’ve driven it.
thanks harry, long retired.

I think that it’s a Beaver.
Yep.It’s a Beaver.It’s got the Beaver rear axle.The Comets and Albion Clydesdales had the Leyland Hub reduction axles.The Beaver had the long doors,we had some on Shell.Regards,900x20.
The British Ropes Scania Vabis was from their Doncaster depot When they sold it after it had been damadged in RTA, F,Short & Sons Ltd bought it, The driver got it didnt like it, he couldnt get away with its 2 gearsticks, It was a good puller but not to good on top speed, Regards Larry.

How about this dirty one, I think it says Comet on the front nearside. Regards Peter
LAD Albions came equipped with long doors. Leylands could be specc’d with long or short doors. If I remember rightly, the reason that there were more short-doored Leylands was that the long door option cost a couple of quid more.
If Pat Kennett were still around he’d be able to give you chapter and verse!
it looks like a swasea reg beaver to me the trailer is a vac braked one the units were piped up for air and vac this is mine from bridgend depot tony

The body & equipment is probably DunnSpencer BulkFlo, who were located at Ilton, Somerset. Most of the bulkers in Somerset were fitted with their kit. Go to thebradfordsgroup.co.uk for the history of Bradfords, including a few pictures of their vehicles.
Dunns had a garage /service station on the corner of East Street, Taunton and a garage in Exeter. The company also ran Wines Car Service - all the drivers wore peaked caps and belted raincoats - they had a fleet of Morris Isis cars. Same as those now manufactured in India.
looking at this pic,anyone drove every type,I’m missing the three down the middle,the big daf,the buffalo & the motor panels erf,had a daf 2200 off brs truck rental,worst lorry ever,leyland beaver & marathon yes & most erf but not the three mentioned probably to late now,though 3300 john could sort one out regards alan

But the nuts got stuck in his teeth.
A bit of usless information about Dunns Taunton. I used to deliver petrol to the garage in Taunton in the seventies. To unload we had to pull under the building behind the pumps. This meant we had to stop across the road outside the shops first to show the dipsticks as there was not room to get them out under the building. The chap serving the petrol knew how long it took to put the right amount of fuel in each tank and he used to stand by us and time it. One of the tanks was inside the car showroom and we had to use a 30 foot pipe and roll up a carpet to get to the manlid. Mr Dunns office was upstairs and quite often he would come down with a small dog in tow.I delivered Elf petrol but the garage also sold Jet fuel and if we could not get all the load into our tanks we used to put the balance into the Jet tanks.
The garage was on a junction and to get into it we used to drive across an island in the middle of the road which had a dissused toilet underneath it and the powers to be put a block on us from doing this so Mr Dunn forked out for a new garage to be built around the corner.
Dunns also ran local buses years ago
Cheers Phil.
Cheers Numbum, I thought it must be something like that. 
When I was a Royal Mail transport manager, Bruntinghtorpe was used to fil the new Parcelforce adverts, with over 50 vehicles from Sherpas to Roadtrains. The amount of mirrors that were smashed was unbelievable and damaged caused to trucks. Knew we shouldn’t have used agency drivers!!
Maybe you shouldn’t have had them actually moving, either!
