Pity there isn’t a photo like that only Guy Big Js instead of S/As. Could possibly show a rake of 240 Patricrofts poking out from under the cabs.

After seeing Billy Belt’s MAN with a B+I trailer - here’s another B+I subbie - Pembroke Transport. For the life of me I can’t remember which thread I got this off or who’s it is - apologies if anyone recognises it - I’m not passing it off as my own tho I recall these wagons well, from Pembroke (dur) and based just over the river from the castle IIRC. I don’t remember Watkins (in the background) at all but I think they were from Kilgetty way.

do u have any photos from band i days .wakins were from sageston

Hi Mike,

I’m afraid I don’t have old pics unless I find them on here - like I said the f88 wasn’t my image which makes me feel a bit guilty but I’m only really re-posting within trucknet. It’s photos like that that drew me to this brilliant thread - such memories!

So Watkins was from Sageston! I don’t remember them at all for some reason. Who was the guy near Cross Hands Martletwy with the white Transconti’s?

Speaking of Transconti’s from Pembrokeshire - here’s one from Carmarthen Truckshow a couple of years back:

hi mate billy belt had transcon he was from x hands martletwy regards mike

Hi Mike

Oh! Now it all makes sense - I guess I never saw the name on them! What relation was the David(?) Belt with the beige and brown trucks based in Templeton then?

hi all,
ex tony morgan scammell seen here with leicester heavy haulage .that heavily converted cab was huge!!!

[bookworm]

Been away for the weekend , just logged on and saw the old pictures of the JR motors. The one of the old Atkis on the previous page must have been taken in the early 70s because they are parked on what later became the car park after the yard was extended .I saw a couple of my old steeds on there ,WEP 380 T and on the shot from the rear of the later line-up there is my Rockwool tractor which had an experimental deflector blade on the roof. Thanks for jogging my memory ,its not as good as it used to be.
