Hi all, Andrew glad to hear the party went well.

What a cracking photo of Gullivers 2435. I cant quite make the reg out but we put 12 new ones on the road in 1990, two batches of six supplied from two different sources.
I had a new one G580 XAE for six months before taking over as manager of the Cardiff Truck Rental operation.
Mostly hanging meat from Devon out to France and Spain, chicken/turkey fresh and frozen out of Brittany back to all of the U.K.

It was a good number at the time, but pulled the plug on the transport side September/October 1991 due to fall out with main customer and to many loads being hi-jacked in France.
Trailers went back to CTR in Barry, units went into rental fleet.
I have probably driven that one as they were based and serviced in Cardiff.

Regards Paul.

Hi D Jeff Lewis,
That error message is photobucket,that’s the picture uploader that I used for a couple of years.for reasons that have never been made clear to me,every now and again some of my earlier photos disappear and you see the “look who’s popular” message.please keep trying though,they will re-appear.
Regards andrew.
