I think it’s Leicester Tree Forest 
as well John as one of my gaffers called it but I reckon it’s the southbound side and the Transcon is heading up the slip into the northbound area.Weren’t Gil-Flex a Hull based rental company?
Maybe wrong as well 
Hello Mr bubbleman,
Some great photo’s today, particularly like this one…
George Blays was a large timber/saw yard in the middle of Honiton, East Devon. Their yard backed-one to the London to Exeter ‘Southern Railways’ mainline. The place closed in the 90s & is now a housing estate.
Also liking the Perry & Perry Mammoth Major tractor, can anybody tell me where they were/are based?
Get well soon!! Andrew Stone.

I think it’s Leicester Tree ForestHiya …red card chris…i,ve just google earthed the services.the north bound off slip is way down the road towards the M69.you would only see greenery
Also if you look close theres no tower with the(ross)sign on the south side. IF its Leicester forest i would stay with the transcon southbound.

I told yer I would be wrong Google Earth is summat I’ve never used John.It’s 1988 ish since I went past so I’ve got a bit of an excuse.The times I’ve been in there in the late 60s and the 70s - dodgy nights out included.
That’s if it is L F of course.

John I reckon that "Crusader"was one of the first demonstrators there was one with a different front grill ( unless it is that one and they changed it ) and they ran a while before the 4 wheel units made a bow they were 6x4 V8 D/D powered
The picture of the services could be L forest as it as been changed before the M69 was built you came down to the junction about half a mile after the exit and there was not many Ross service areas especially with a restaurant on the bridge and looking at the car exiting it could have been taken in the 70s
cheers Johnnie
saw this crusaser on the lunchbox cafe a61 near derby i remember the kysor rad shutter exposed-69-70-alan
The grill on that crusader is actually a kysor automatic radiator shutter optional on some of them, it operated on engine water temp.
my dad had trans con back in early 80’s loved that lorry

Apparently Perry & Perry were based at Beaminster Dorset and sold out to ECC group in 1973.The AEC was used for feeding readymix plants with aggregates and later in life ended up as a wrecker in Gloucestershire.
I remember Perry & Perry hauling material in the 1950s for the dam being built at Clatworthy in the Brendon Hills of West Somerset, using original ERF diesels from the late 1930s.
I grow old, I grow old… 
Hello again,heres a few more of these odd size photographs…hope they’re ok.
Nice bit of blind side reversing for the driver of this early lhd 110
Cheers Bubbs, 
Hi Bubbs I drove that rd 110 a few years back I am pretty sure thats the one mrken done up for them and it went to a musuem if not it was another with that SRT no plate
That Laings trader looks the part for a tipper, not to sure about the dodgy looking guy driving it…

Don’t be hard on the Lad “altitude” I think he was the foreman and his grimace was just as he lost his footing and landed on his a*** in the slutch,he should have let the Trader’s regular driver make the pose!! just because he was the foreman and had a tie on!!! Bewick.
