You are correct :laughing:
I must have a few other pics of Mallindine trucks, but can not find them at the moment.
I remember seeing a Trotman truck at Raychem Belgium…

Is the factory just off the E40 nr the Brugge junction still there ?
I have passed it many a time and if it is, I presume that it is called Tyco now.

always an interesting topic to rear and re read…happy 100 pages… :slight_smile:

Yes that one is still called "Tyco (Electronics).
The one in Leuven is “Commscope” now.

Cheers for the info. Would be interesting to see more pics of Rex Trotmans lorries.
In later years I used to drop trailers into Raychems place in Swindon for MAT transport.
Also ran regularly to Gent and Wilrijk, on a different contract, also for MAT.
