TruckNet member Leyland 600 was one of the many visitors to the L.H.C. at Crofters , Garstang. gathering on Sunday.
It would bring back memories to those who frequented the place when it was the Mayfield Transport Cafe.
Now, to those who dont know him , Leyland 600` is a man of ingenious inventions. 
Heres "■■■■■■■■■■ John" trying to get to grips with Leyland 600s latest state-of-the-art handiwork :-
- an Eaton Two-Speed walking stick.
Gotcha John . 
Cheers , cattle wagon man.

When " ■■■■■■■■■■ John " became familiar with Leyland 600 `s Two-Speed walking stick, he was soon
giving demonstrations on how to change the ratio . He had to be reminded of the 40 m.p.h. speed limit. 
I managed to photograph these 3 Bedfords between the “bbbbbrrrrrrummmm …bbbbrrrrrummmm…”
from John on the A 6.
Cheers , cattle wagon man.

I’ve had a word with the agency and they are offering a choice of three,possibly four,drivers for the 240 Big J,namely,Elvis,Adolf or Osama and the fourth would just be a stand in if non of the first three were available.However,as the stand in has to travel from the IOM there is some argument about paying subsistance as he wants two nights when we know very well he will be back home on the island and tucked up in his own “pit” on the second night,plus he wants his fee in “readies” no cheques nor would he give us his Bank details,he said that was priviledged info ! Only known by him and his accountant in Grand Cayman Cheers Dennis.

Turners ( Hoole ) Ltd. showed 3 highly-polished E.R.F. tractor units at Sundays Gathering` at Crofters , Garstang.
A red and white " Bewick" E.R.F would have been a good addition.
Errrr…I won`t mention owt about a Guy Big J , Dennis.
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
Sorry about the decent motor on the right CWM but seeing as your a dab hand at photo shopping you have my permission to “doctor” the shot which was taken in the depot at Milnthorpe IIRC around August '82,they were all new and IIRC took part in the Kendal “Torchlight” procession,which at times during the 80’s and 90’s we had into the teens of artics taking part,unlike nowadays when there are half a dozen artics and one hundred old cars and tractors 
Cheers Bewick.
