And who remembers Syms from Calne? Swallowed up by Dodds.
Yes, but swallowed up via the Official Receiver, weren’t they?
And you’re right - the Sayers fleet was very well turned out, wan’t it?
truckerash:
I heard that this lot did Middle East too. Anyone know?
I’m not sure whether BW did ME work truckerash, but IIRC they sometimes reloaded in Tony Febland’s at Novara (Via Bovio??)
I definitely remember seeing them in Italy.
hey up jessicas dad, whats yor connection with the Boughton Cold Store pics then?
Im born and bread Northampton and used to go past thier yard all the time.
Never took any pics cause the motors didnt really appeal to me 
Scabby old slack aks and mercs 
oh by the way…still lookin for your Yardley photo!
its about time i put some Scottish stuff on here and after last nights footy result where they “stuffed” the frogs 
, what better way to celebrate than with a few good ole truckin photos!
This has to be my very very fave Scottish photo. I spotted it at The Red Lion, junction 16 M1 Northampton.
sit back and enjoy these fine lasses…
i beleive this lot did middle east
Cattos definatley didnt, but i snapped this lot on the way to Rungis
Bon Accord had a fine fleet…
and Vick Mathers had a couple of Fiats pulling for um.

Shedicks, Hicks, L E Jones, John Raymond…
oh go on then, maybe tomorrow

Truckerash, Absolutely brilliant, Keep 'em coming.
Have you got any Peter G Bowker, or Leslie Trucking pictures. They did euro work in the 70s and 80s.
Also do you have any of the RH Stevens Swiss registered motors, they’d be blue, probably Volvos, one of which was registered BS4020.
Or DOW Freight, pereferably the MANs.
Please
Keep up the good work, looking forward to the National thread.
