Isn’t this a stupid job? If only we had known the value of these old photographs and the chances we have all had to take them. We have all sat in queues at tank-washes and seen lorries and companies we will never see again.

From Sadlers at Thornaby to Wincanton at Barry the images in my head are all amazing. A great shame to have lost all these memories.

Yep, your right there wheelnut, i wish i’d taken more photos, even when i carried my camera i was always in the wrong place or in too much of a rush somedays to take a picture. But all we can do is enjoy what we’ve got there are some cracking photos on this site, i’ll put on all i’ve got eventually, but i can’t match the bubbleman!!

I would really like to hear from anyone who drove this motor in the 70s. In the 90s I was involved with the restoration after we aquired

the tractor from Castrol at Stanlow. We did a ground up rebuild so the project is very close to heart. regards kevmac47

Following on from Malc’s comment, let’s have a walk around a HCL tank…

Now let’s go up top… :smiley:
