At the time of the picture, the F12 was owned by a guy from wick area,(vale of Glamorgan), daryll ■■?..it was bought to pull a tanker out of Bridgend creamery…

Daryl Kemp IIRC. He also had a new MB 2538 when pulling for Bridgend Creamery

Hi broad slide,
Yes that’s him.he also subbed to joint motorways with that merc,or if he didn’t? Someone did,I can’t remember the drivers name tbh.smallcoal I think? You mean the guy from church village near Pontypridd? Not sure if they were related?
Regards andrew.

The owner driver from church village was mike toms, started with an old l plate f88 and later bought an f10, now long retired

Mike toms had a ERF as well

Hi Mate, Phil was of many abode, Llangynwyd was the family ‘village’ quite a large family if I remember rightly, followed his father into transport, another good man on the spanners if memory serves me, from many a story being told whilst fitting a clutch on many a JR truck. Phil would lay his head wherever there was company & don’t let him and Gwyn R out together, drink a bar dry long after I would fall down with stars in my eyes!
