Hello all regarding Bill Anstie.
I started at bridgend BRS in feb 1968 as a day tramper,the manager then was Brian Roach,Bill had retired and gone to John Raymonds but he came back in 1970/71 as a temporary manager for a short time untill Brian Anthony from bristol became the new manager.At about this time i transferd to BRS Margam branch in the Abbey Works on a new contract running day and nights to the Midlands and Oxford.I have some photos scania 81 would like to see,Morley Walters and Billy BB i live in Porthcawl and had lifts home in his jeep.
regards Tony
Afternoon Tony i would be very grateful to see them photos you have.
I was born in Jan 68 but remember meeting Bill Anstie later in the 70,s with my late dad.In his old brief case he had Margam branch on his id for a while.If my hunch is right you called in the yard some mornings with a foden BOC tanker.
Another LDOY for Alan[victor the pole and Mervyn Bator,s motor]

When I first looked at that pic, I thought the Scania was kitted out for ME work as it looks like its got a rack and an air con unit on the cab roof 
Should of added that the lorry next to it is from my neck of the woods, Bowyers from Trowbridge.
Not sure what the unit is though, is it an F 86 ?
the m4 at port talbot between town and velindre notice no H&S men climbing ladders proper workers then
Hi all,
My 1853 SK Eurocab Merc was sold last November.we painted the cab and wheels to the new owners specification,whilst he was driving roadtrains across Australia.Due to global issues the new owner collected it last week.Shes now in her new home in Ireland…
Hi Andrew,September 1976 the flyover at port talbot costing £3.25 million was opened,called the port talbot inner ring road,this roundabout is by blancos

Hi buzzer,my missus won’t mind as my life insurance is up to date 
Hi Andrew. Looks as if your 1853 is in the hands of Paul O’Callaghan. I just read his article on his friends R560 with 800hp.
Hopefully Convoy Cymru goes ahead and will be a success in October.
Regards Paul
