Regards Paul.

Here’s one I’ve seen on Facebook. These started off life on the opencast in stoke where I worked with my first lorry. Ryan’s were responsible for the transport but I think they only had 2 Maggie 8 wheelers on it. Then these appeared, there was about 10 of them. They had stoke drivers on them but only ever worked on the job as a fill in, they used to do distance. The allustrious Mr.Andy South was the mush we dealt with and I ended up doing a lot of work for Ryan’s over the years. Lytag from rugeley to somewhere in cowbridge and coal back to stoke. Anyways these didn’t stay up stoke for long and were replaced with volvo fl10s, but they were in Ryan’s colours. Is Andy Ryan still with Ryan’s? He was a brummy if I remember right and quite good at butchering the rates he give ur. And as anybody got any photos of the fl10s?
