A long way rom west wales considering the reg no would have been almost certainly been supplied from Fletchers Swansea the local Leyland Dealer, we had a similar reg on a 6 wheeler at a local haulier I was involved with at the time , the body looks like a Witheys Masycymmer to me again south wales valleys based, so trade plates are a mystery.
e.w.
Fletchers advert. 1978.
That seems very good money for a class 2 driver in 1976. Back then I was recently married and earning 58 pence an hour as a hgv fitter, possibly why I swapped trades a few years later and changed from wielding spanners for a comfy seat inside the cab!

Would Arlington on Penarth Road eventually be CV Sales? If so,my Mandator was in for a repair one Saturday morning and I had to load at Baglan Bay and get home to Sheffield.It was the time of the diesel shortage,1974 and I had been told that Calor Transport Briton Ferry and Entress Llansamlet were unable to refuel A E Evans as they were short themselves.I had some diesel but not enough to get home.There was a filling station near CV Sales so I walked across and asked if I could buy 25 gallons of derv.Surprisingly the attendant said yes,so when wagon was fixed,I filled up and I gave him a cheque with my signature on back - remember those days? When I got back to Sheffield late Saturday afternoon I put 72 gallons in the 75 gallon tank,so it were close.

Hi all,
A fantastic turn out at the 2019 Hereford Truck Show,the organisers of that event,in my opinion have it running like a well oiled machine.Some stunning trucks,Good weather,great mates and beer.All raising money for the air ambulance charity.Heres a few of the classics amongst hundreds of beautiful motors in attendance.
Hi all, Andrew brilliant photo’s there. Billy Smarts circus that takes us back a bit! Two things I enjoyed as a kid visiting the circus, the clowns and the trucks.
Well done to the person who matched up the trucks.
Nice photo’s from Hereford, no doubt Dave the Renegade was keeping an eye on the show from his resting place.

I read somewhere on here that Briton Ferry Steels did a changeover at Eardisley railway station yard and sure there was a photo. Were they not BRS contract wagons?
Nice old photos of my favourite wagon,the AEC MK5.

Think they were Chris, I seem to remember seeing a pic of one in George Reads yard when that was a BRS depot.
