Hi boys i dont know if this is any help but i have dug out my few Kenny photos with regs & this what i found OHW 216 Y was that yours Gavin I took the shot @ an early truck race event its the same colour etc as yours.
I have another exactly the same colour as yours but flat cab & is the one on this thread I took it @ Great Dorset Steam Fair GHB 164 V
F 590 DUH is or was a flat cab John Golding.
DHW 665W is aother i took @ a show is or was a flat cab & belonged to Floods Plant Hire i think it was Silverstone & one of the magazines did an article on it.
FMT 332 W was or is a 4x2 of lovell hodder whitwills i think thats what they were called as they only had Whitwills on the lorries but im sure Marc will be able to put me right. Iam sure they had a few with Detriots in I had 1 in a TM Bedford it was a great lorry.
But wedge brakes another story.
See you all later.
Hi Gavin do you still run some or a lorry on containers if not some one with your name does?
Tribsa
If I am making this even more confusing, then I apologise now!
Back in 1976, my neighbour worked for MIRA at Nuneaton doing vehicle testing. On two seperate occaisions, he came home with Kenworth tractor units, both were COE 6x4 units on French “temporaire” W plates. One I rember was, red and white, the other was silver and blue and an Aerodyne cab. When I asked him what they were to be used for, he said they were as single vehicle imports for a UK haulier.
I have tried to find the pictures taken of them, but without success. I guess that either of these may have been the KW pictures here, unless anyone can tell me otherwise.
Hi all, this is getting rather complicated. First the easy bits I have phoned Steve Baker and he will be on here as soon as he can get in and tribsa I don’t operate a truck any more I sold my Foden in Nov 07 some one from Wimbledon area bought it last summer to do container work, I have been told my name is still on the headboard.
Back to KW’s I did not realise that the John Golding one and Steve Bakers were the same truck the number plate change threw me.
I have alot more pics and Steve also has plus we can give qite a bit of history.Do you think we should start a KW thread so as not to drown Ash’s 80’s one?
Ok let’s leave truckerash’s thread about the 80’s. Maybe even better if you start 2 threads: one about all K100’s in England, and one about this KW only as now you made me very curious to learn more about its history and see more pics of it.
Maybe the administrator can move some posts about the KW in the new topic?
Is that pic of truckerash in Portugal (E.C.Transport) really also the same KW in its very first livery■■?
I have now managed to find the pics of the Kenworths being brought in fro use by a UK haulier , i have also found a pic of Ruttles Plant 's Kenworth EHU940W. I will try and scan them on here
These pics were taken in Matoshinos Portugal, there had been a burst water main in the night and it had washed the sand away under the cobbles. In the morning this fish carrying truck brought in new supplies to the fish packing plant and the front wheel went through the cobbles. The forklift was sent out to unload the truck and it also went through. They unloaded the truck by hand then waited all day for a wrecker to arrive, when it did they hitched it up, the driver got back into the Scania and before the wrecker driver had got into gear he backed it out! They then had to remove the forklift, they were scared to go anywhere near it. Unfortunately 3 or 4 English drivers laughing their heads off at the circus - offering advice and taking pics did nothing for Anglo? Potugese relationships!
The bottom pic shows the hole under the road.
Does anyone know what became of Colonel Kevin Mack, he used to own a black Mack with cow horns on the roof, it was used in the television prog ‘The Brothers’. He had his name plastered all over Pieters later Harry’s at Keratsini at Piraeus.
He was a tall stoy teller ‘par excellence’

Hi mushroom It was with James Hazeldine so it must have been Truuckers. I only saw i or 2 episodes as I was away. I can now watch some programs for the first time while my wife tut-tuts as she has already seen them about 5 times. Gavin
Kerbut, I know I am a bit slow in puting this on, but I did promise!!!..
as I said before it’s not that good, I was taking it through Lee Lines gates, and in those days with a 35mm camera and no zoom…
Thanks for that,I reckon that just after it had been sprayed ( Lee Line sprayed) as it has a trade plate in the windscreen .
Hi Gavin GS Thanks for your ppm. Your Scania is not the one I had in mind, it was a sort of candy apple red.I dont remember yours or Jimmy Ellis’s I remember the cafe you mentioned but we didn’t use it that often we normally went back to Matosinos.It’s funny because our paths must have crossed many times without us meeting. I used to sometimes load back from Graham ■■■■ in either Raymouth street or Silwood st. the other end of the road from Europeanfreightbus, was that the same road that you worked in? Graham became part of the Keedwell empire. I later became friendly with Jimmy Ellis when I worked for DT’s, ask him about the time his MAN froze up at the runways in Czech and he had to be rescued by a KW and a Foden, but I never knew he did Portugal
From the left John Bibby (Biggles)from Macclesfield - Me - R& G ,probably Steve Holland - Pat (Lucking ?) - Mervin Pierce (merve the swerve) Pat used to do R&R for Mike Keedweel (Euromat was going to look out some pics) Merve is still doing a bit of distibution for DT’s out of Avonmouth He’s about 70 now!
Me wih one of Aquilla’s better trailers.

Hi I expect most of you will remember this place. It’s not Portugal.
How about the Portugese way of building put the roof on first!
