NWF is the parent group that owns Bougheys. We get paid into the bank by NWF Group PLC. I think NWF used to have something to do with GROCOTs, either they owned or were owned by each other.
So there is a connection!!!
The high roof on the white Scania looks to be made from the roof and rear doors of a Morris Minor van.
Hi folks, its that ellusive Truckerash here again.
But it looks like it’ll only be a one off appearance 
I am havin some mega bad troubles with the old computer 
Went away for repair…came back…slower now than ever 
So its going back again this week and it aint comin back til its proper fixed!!!
But have no fear ive dug out these pics which have taken ALL WEEKEND to upload
Thanks for keeping the ole’ thread going…i just wish i could be here as often as when i started it in the beginnin
Hopefully the computer will be right as rain ASAP and ill be…
This ones what started my truckin life off proper so ive left the pic full size (bit of self indulgence if thats OK…)
Taken when i was “a lad” - late teens, late 70’s and went to Italy with Jeff Johnson in this Super Continental cabbed 2800 (Air-con, cooker, sink, fridge: full Mid East spec). Euroroute specialised in Mid East but also did European work. Regular colours were two tone blue and white. Obviously this DAF (named Super Simon) in DT colours.
and on way home in France with MacHayes…nearly jumped ship and came back in the 141 
and heres a few more to keep the old juices goin…
for mike t and jj72 heres a couple more Planthaul
or was it MCL?..
and what about Plant & Engineering Andy?
Im sure i saw them over in France…but i dont think they did Mid East with the PIE trailer
heres some anonomus Scania’s. Anyone identify them?
is this the original Swiss Flyer?
Scholleys 141 - SYG 546W
nice early Irish Berliet
SORRY but sometimes a Merc crops up
D & W transport from PRINCE REGENT LANE, PLAISTOW.
Mr KEN- Do you know this co.?
The truck was on Patricks from new, then sold to D & W.
Yep Plant & Engineering from Colnbrook - Ziggy Swanston, quite a colourful character by all (and they’re numerous) accounts, they are still plant dealers down that way, at least they were when we loaded a 38RB from there a few years back for Rumo
Somebody (Rattlesnake Dave?) mentioned a while ago on here their connection with PIE if you do a quick search - or a slow search in your case at the moment Ash? 
hope you get back up to speed soon matey
cheers for the info JJ.
dun a “relatively quick” search for PIE and got 24,000 recipie results
ar’ well, give me another hobby to try while the machine’s away I could bake loads of PIES and give them away as prizes if memory serves me well, i did ask the location of 1 of my pics way back when and i fink KW got it right.
Watch your mail box Keith… PIES on the way
A couple more of Planthaul’s F12s.
