A nice line up there Steve.

These three were in the best spot for pictures.

Hi Steve,
Thats the only problem with the recreation ground in Kington,its a bit tight for space,as the cricket club have got a lot of the space. I reckon C W Griffiths lorries look much better in the old yellow colours.
Cheers Dave.

It was a very good show - even my other half enjoyed it…

It was like the Wacky Races when all the motorbikes were going around the ring!

Had a look at your pics of the moterbikes,didn’t recognise anyone.A lot of the vehicles and moterbikes come from all over the place.
Cheers Dave.

Good to see your pic of Lewis Weaver’s Leyland octopus that you took in Hereford -

I saw him at kington - unfortunately without the Octopus!

Incidentally - his Octopus has a very close reg. to the Pyatt brothers well known one:

Perhaps Lewis Weaver’s was an esso tanker previously as well Steve.

A couple more topline Scania’s seen at Hereford.


Another pair of eye catching units,seen at Hereford Truck Show.


Another one of M Pinches Iveco’s,they all have something on the sun visor.


I expect this one has been sprayed up in Radbournes colours by now.


This little artic was built by C W Griffiths driver Mark Preece father in law for his grand children.
Pictured behind are Mark and his wife.

Grandad comes from Chapel in le Frith,and is an ex Sam Longson driver.

Shaun Layton has diesel in his blood,his dad Derek ran his own lorries for over forty years.Shaun runs his own business in Carpets,but still runs this Ford Transcontinental on the show circuit.

I remember Bob turning up at Botany Bay with the topline 113 he had (ex Swains), with the Borderer on the back. Always seemed a nice bloke to talk to, Bob.

Hi marky,
Was he taking the Borderer to sell ?.As in my previous post,last time I spoke to him,he still had it.
Cheers Dave.

No, he took it as a semi-retired exhibit Dave - it sat on the trailer on the Saturday and he started it up and put it in the line-up on Sunday morning. This was a good few years ago now, mind - it was the year David Weedon brought the Sunters bonneted Atki prime mover he was still restoring.

Hi marky,
Thanks for that. I thought he would not give up on his Atki that easy,last time I spoke to him was 2 or 3 years ago.
Cheers Dave.
