Inver are the fuel company that took over the old Texaco/Chevron distribution site in the docks. I’m pretty certain that CBT are still going but running in Inver colours/name as the favoured contractor.

Hi all,
Andrew iirc the last work Caswell’s were doing was out of Gillete exhausts to Fords at Dagenam. Looks a rather short wheelbase to me, and strange to see it as a tag axle.
A nice link, my sister arrives from Abergavenny later this afternoon.
One week from my triple by-pass and so far doing fine. Time to catch up on this fine site, boredom at home is going to be a bloody nightmare.

Regards Paul.
