Heres one of pandoro’s, i cant take any credit for the photo it was given to me by a friend and i think he bought it from a truck rally

Thanks for that, Chris. Has the look of a Bubblepic somehow!

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Andrew
The Crusader was Kingswood Transport of Southampton I’m sure it started life as a 4x2 but the lads on the Southampton thread will put us right

Any of you South Wales lads got any photos of Barworth Haulage,a Scunthorpe based company that belonged to Bitmac who had a benzene refinery in Llanwern.They collected the crude benzene out of the coke ovens at Cwm,Nantgarew,Bedwas,East Moors etc with AEC MK5s back in the 60s and 70s.
Thanks,Chris.
