My condolances to m8 and family

Hi all,
Thanks for all of the kind words and thoughts, we have witnessed some wonderful acts of kindness over my father’s passing away. Here we have two Welsh lorries I can’t recall seeing and one that I can.BRS Bedford O type? And a Davies & Meredith Atki, finally a Cargo from a large Cardiff based company.

Great photos Andrew.
I don’t remember Davies & Meredith running anything except flatbed trailers and artics. Probably way before my time.
The Mcniff and Curran boys tore up a lot of our roads, and a few pubs back then too.

By accident this afternoon i found out Bill Blake has passed on.
It was on a undertaker,s web page.
I put a picture of him up on page 735 in front of my late Father,s Scania 81[LAA 983T] at Ldoy heat.
Was in the fitting shop at Bridgend B.R.S for years and then drove for Gloystarne and JME.

That is a class shot of a Borderer ! BUT what engine did it have ? LXB or ■■■■■■■ , I see it has the poxy Group axle though. And what was it loaded with ? Cheers Dennis.

Hi Dennis,

There is a Gardner badge centre of the grille immediately above the A,it’s looks like 240,but when zoomed I lose the clarity,I guess the load was rolled steel.

Well David I got me magnifying glass out and from what I could squint I think it is a 240LXB engined Borderer with the group axle but I wonder if it had either the DB 8speed or the 9509 Fuller box ! Cheers Dennis.

Is this like building a model of HMS Victory etc where you can purchase the next item (ie a cab roof etc) the following month and in two years have the complete cab?
