Those WHITE’s were nice looking motors, especially with the later twin headlamps. A good night’s sleep could be had if you were lucky enough to have the big-sleeper version, bloody poxy if you had the short-sleeper!!!, i think a HINO’s bunk was wider!!!. Apart from having no lock, being cramped inside, crap air-op wipers, and windscreens that crack every day, they were’nt a bad motor 
, i do have a soft spot for’em though as i spent quite alot of time in one in the late 80’s early 90’s, caused plenty of rubber-neckin on the roads and plenty of intrest at the cafe’s!
The RC2 in the first pic, if i remember rightly, featured in TRUCK magazine and was ordered with the factory high-roof (pictured further on) but arrived with out it! i think the dealer had locomotors fit the high roof pictured.
There you go lads, another bit of useless info to keep you all bored!!! 
regards, Chris.
Hello again,todays stuff is a mixture of Leyland group lorries. 
The last pic is interesting ,as this Leyland passes Toddington services look theres no armco barrier in the central reservation. 
Cheers Marc.
youve done yourself proud with the last few lots of pics marc
seeing the Whites reminded of one I used to see most days running into the Smith Stone and Knights papermill in Nechells ,Bimingham, I always thought they were a smart for a yankee wagon, it always used to pass me and my dad on Mount st where he would always stop for his lunch at my grans if I was out with him in the school holidays
Cheers again bubbleman, it’s always a pleasure to browse through Scrapbook Memories. Thanks for the John Summer’s & Sons’ Leyland I think it’s another cut down Octopus.

Hello again,Bubbs here with the big A today.
CheersMarc.
This motor, and its training group at Failsworth, are featured in the North Manchester Hauliers thread. I bought it for spares and cut it up
I hab a drive at one of these on a HGV driver training course at the RTITB at High Arcal they only had the one Atki could be the same vehicle, it wasnt a good ride, I think the Mk 2 was a better vehicle.
The one at High Ercall was WAN 183G, and it had (still has!) an RR220 engine and ZF gearbox.
Hello everyone,Volvos today…the first pic is for Niall (whiplash)
Health and safety out the window in the last pic!! 
Cheers Marc.
I remember this one with fond memories
Someone thought a Yale lock was enough to protect the equipment inside.
They didn’t reckon on a disgruntled trucker with a firebomb 
I think there was another attempt to pull the replacement concrete building down with a chain.
This was in the days of CB radio and as soon as it opened the alternative route through South Cave was used. Some of the locals used to sneak off through Broomfleet 
However the DFT got their own back by building a new self weigh facility at King George Dock that was manned every morning as the ferry docked.
Malc,I can’t remember seeing that weighbridge,whereabouts was it? I was running out of Easington North Sea Gas plant for A.E.Evans up until April 1979 and the Tozer’s Volvo is an “S” 1977 reg.Was it installed after 1979?
Looks like one of H.Campey’s at the back maybe.
Good pics again. This Globetrotter, wasnt there an article about it either on here or some truck magazine a few years ago. It was run by two brothers, one did the business side, buying,selling, disposing etc of the tyres out to or back from Europe and the other one did the driving■■?
This Volvo, is that one from Matthews of Yarmouth? Its got the palm tree and camel sticker, the TIR plate and bumper writing, but how far did it get ■■

Hello Chris. The weighgridge is on the A63 about 6 miles from Melton crossroads where the Capper Pass works was situated. It is just after the A1034 to South Cave heading West. I think it was about 76/77 when it opened and the Morris Marina in the car park would be around at that time. Tozers are probably still running that Volvo
You may be right about the Campey S80 and my research leads me to believe that they were built between 1972 and 1978.
Sorry for derail to a brilliant thread.

I remember that article Bullit, it was in a late 80’s Trucking international, i remember it being pictured with a blue and white F88. Think ive still got the mag stored away somwhere, i’ll try n dig it out.
Hello all, some Fodens today lads.
Hope some of these are of interest.
Cheers Bubbs.

Thanks for that Malc.I know where you mean now.I must have been lucky not to have been pulled. Tozer hangs on to his motors then does he,just like A.E.Evans.
Back to Bubbleman’s great thread .
Bubbs,
You are the man.
Thanks for those great White pics. I have alot of fond memories of the mighty Roadcommander2.
Very pleased to see the pics of P. Partrick’s FRP 60T, " Pride of Stanwick", used to see her very regularly.
FRP is still about, painted blue & silver last time I saw her and living “up north” I think.
A couple of the high roof versions ended up on Middle East work.
For a little while, prior to life as race transport, UVF 620X was with Dave Miller from Hertfordshire, who will be best remembered for his very smart Scania, A589 JEX and his subsequent D reg Scania Aerodyne.
Cheers
Mark
