hiya,
Chris you could bet your bottom dollar or your Geneva stash even that you would lose that battle “young as you are” and Dennis the day i’m designated second man on the 80 expect a call from my sickbed.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Bubbs, I’ve borrowed one of your early pics for the Smiths thread so here’s one in return from an era of interest to many of your viewers;
I wonder what one of those would be advertised for in CVC classifieds in that condition?

Eyup Harry,instead of fighting for it we could double shift it,days and nights alternate.Dennis could find us some work and Norm could be TM.

Fine by me Bubbs,we are both “A” frame drag men so a trailer apiece and we’ll be off.No second man though,we’ll both manage without.
Best let me go first so Harry’s Maudslay Meritor doesn’t hold me up!

To shove me over Woodhead/Shap/Beattock/Standedge when I’m overloaded Dennis.I see it’s got a “AK” Bradford reg,maybe Ashworths bought it after de-nationalization,they liked bars on t’front like that.

hiya,
Wonder what age the Maudslay is?? very similar to the first motor i drove as a civilian driver back in 1957 this was a 1939 Mikado forerunner of the Meritor it was only 3 years younger than me but it was in fantastic condition but only used round the doors manly Liverpool docks to the Lancs cotton mills i think i used to put 14 tons on the motor and 6 tons on the trailer and was she slow i was only doing holiday relief “well you had to start somewhere” but was relieved when the regular drivers came back and i could move on to pastures anew did a lot of wag and drag work as a newbie, was offered a permanency but did’nt like Liverpool dockwork, did anybody??.

Eyup Harry,“GAK” was Bradford August 1949 reg.,and no,I didn’t like any dock work either,especially Liverpool and Birkenhead.
Hey experts, how can one distinguish Mandator TG4 from Mercury TGM4?
