Hello Howard,
Thanks very much for the compliment and recent email. To be honest it’s easier to explain the NASA space programme than explaining photo bucket.all I can suggest is look at the top of the trucknet page and follow the advice for posting images.be warned though,it can? Sometimes just not work for reason X :imp: alternativley? If you are struggling feel free to email any images to me and I will post them on here on your behalf.
Regards Andrew.

hiya,
Done a few miles in one identical to this, not sided but pulling a trailer
never once let me down, and I did “as a young fellah” flog the thing a
bit but it was “unkillable” great motor but a bit sore on the shoulders
and back, but who complained in those far off halycon days, I know of
some drivers who claimed compensation for back trouble “and got it” I
didn’t but still have the bad back, I was a bit like the donkey’s tail at
the back as usual ah’ well too late now.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hi Andrew,
RTB had eight of those Bristols based at Eardisley railway station yard back in the 1950’s,quite an impressive sight back in those days when you looked down off the railway bridge and saw them lined up in two’s on a weekend.
Cheers Dave.
