Don’t know about you guys, but i could take few more of those 80s pics… even a semi rusty containers look great on them
G’day fellas,
The air lines between the rear wheels are indead for tyre inflation. There is a control pannel in the cab which at a flick of a switch can drop the tyre pressures to aid traction when out in the bush. When the truck is out of the tricky bit,the switch is flicked again and all the tyres are inflated via the air system. I think all the American truck makers have assembly plants in Australia where they are built as right hand drive,not converted. Sadly there are no longer any trucks assembled here in NZ.
Here a couple more logging truck for you.
Tidy looking rice burner.
These now come out with Volvo motors painted red.

lines running to the wheels are tyre self inflation lines.OK, … Do you know how they work ? automaticly, keeps them at the correct pressure from the compressor via a gismo ? or manualy operated ? They look helish vunerable hanging out the sides like that, especially on forest work, I should think …dunno…
Hiya …Adams butter had the constant tyre pressure device in the early 70s on their super single tyres. IICR they was a american made product.
As you mentioned they did stick out but was ok on motorway trunking…I,d forgotten about them untill i saw the one,s on the log truck,s. Thanks
John.
Jamie, Thanks for the info on the tyre inflation gizmos. I have seen a few tractor units working on logs when i have been in the North East of Scotland with these fitted. I thought they were for monitoring mileage or bearing temperatures.

I think this is in Geordie Land. Garage owner looks like Hammer or Hanner & Son.
Mixer in Cyprus.
Also in Cyprus still with British reg no. PAG 638 W
Near the truckstop in Avonmouth

Combination of Bridgwater hauliers.
Cheers Phil
Great photos Phil.The first one is a cracker,I wonder where it was taken? Looks like the car has a “JM” Westmorland reg - is it a Triumph Mayflower?
Anybody any ideas?
I can see Junction 36 near Milnthorpe in the lay of the land, but I bet everyone has suggested that. I can only make out something like Harpers & Son 
or could it be Barker & Son?

the car is defo a mayflower there was a larger version called the renown if I am not mistaken got me anorak and its only 7 AM
I think these Triumph cars were known as razor edges because of the body design. Another long gone practice is the garage selling four brands of fuel,
National,Shell,BP and Power. I used to deliver to a garage that still sold two brands of in the 70,s and if we could not get the whole load into our tanks we used to put the balance in the tanks of the other supplier. It was the same petrol anyway because they loaded from the same depot as us.

It is indeed a Triumph Mayflower.I had one when I was in the forces.Drove her to Germany and back twice.As stated,the bigger version was called the Renown.They were built with aluminium bodies.
Here’s my old motor,1953 vintage.Pic taken in 1964 on a day trip to the Mohne dam with German girlfriend.Registration is BFG,(British Forces Germany)

G’day,
This is a Pacific P500,that was working on private forest roads in the North Island,here in NZ a few summers ago. Note that the first trailer has a deeper chassis that the others,this is because it was fitted with a 470 horse CAT motor,which drove the rear bogie. The controls for this motor and it’s transmission were in the cab of the truck.
These forests are the only place that road trans are opperated in NZ.

Great pic and a fantastic find Dave!!! : ) - I think it dates from around 1921, as you can see, the wagons are loaded with bricks and were used to test load the old 1897 Jubilee Bridge over the River Dee at Queensferry which had just had a major repair job completed after the lifting mechanism jammed and the wheels of a lorry got caught in the gap between the 2 sides of the bridge! The guy at the front leaning on the mudguard was George Alletson who founded Castle Bricks at Northop and eventually sold his company to John Summer & Sons - Shotton Steelworks (who used Castle Firebricks to line their blast furnaces) The Jubilee Bridge was replaced in 1926 by the present bridge - known today as Blue Bridge but used to be light green when I was a kid in the 60’s!!! The wagon at the front looks like an AEC Y type with a couple of Foden Steam Wagons belonging to Hughes Bros of Hawarden and a Flintshire Haulage Co Sentinel at the back.

Hi Marc,
Got this pic at a craft sale in Bettws-y-coed a couple of years ago.
Cheers Dave.

seeing that bartlett trailer, reminded me of the early eighties when i used to do loads of fruit juice from bridgewater for bartletts.
when you loaded in the factory you had to keep a good eye open for any leaking cartons,if you saw one, rather than breaking down the pallet and replacing it they would just put a new 12 pack on the top. first layby up the road you pulled in and dug down to the leaking one,replaced it with the good one and have the other 11 litres for ourselves. having a backload from nine elms fruit market of fruit and veg meant that i always had a healthy diet of fruit and fruit juice,(sometimes tooooo much)
Loaded out of there . . Was called Bridgewater or Zummerzet preserves ?
