Hi all,
saltiel, great photo. Looks like a couple of Hicks motors there and a CVH as well. The detail on the photo said 10 Welsh drivers, just class, pure class.

Regards Paul.

Paul there was a two more of CVH’s motors to the left of the picture the other Transcon and a Yellow daf i have a picture some where. The Hicks Transcon and the blue and white Transcon belonged to my Dad both these vehicle are in the book “Transcontinental at work” and are reg No UTX783S and 784S both were very well travelled old lorries. The one Daf is Hicks but Iam not sure on the one on the end possibly Dai Blunt? answers on a post card pls. Will try and put some more photos on. Should put them on the Astran/middle east page really if any one can copy this to that page pls do

Well done Steve, some fantastic shots there as Rowly says. Can anyone name the Welsh squad there!. The furthest I went in UTX 783S Steve was Llantrisant MOT Station as an 18 year old when your Dad and Rowly’s brother Kelvin did the TIP MOT’s and maintenance. Probably would equate to 0.02% of a Middle East trip… Adrian

hiya,
There was always a couple of these parked up in Chester le Street where
I live evey evening they was parked up, a rigid and an artic over the week-
end as well but they just disappeared and I haven’t seen them for a while
they was always immaculate, never did see the drivers and me being a bit
of a nosey old git would have passed the time of day, the ■■■■■■■■■■■■ is on
my regular walk down into the town and you can see the car park from the
nearby pub where I call for a livener before walking back home.
thanks harry, long retired.
