Hi Dave went in the attic the other day I brought some old truck and drivers down. Heres some stuff for all you people that like old ERF’s and Gardner engines Tony



Hi Tony,
Cracking story about Blower’s.I used to have Truck & Driver,but can’t remember that article,interesting stuff,thanks for posting it.
Cheers Dave.

I thought you Shropshire/Welsh Border lads would like to know that the ex Blowers ERF 5522 AW “Border Queen” is alive and well in the Isle of Man,parked at the Transport museum at Jurby.I’ll put some pics on of her when I’ve got me 35mm film developed - not in the digital age yet :laughing: .The wagon was bought by JCK of Ballasalla,near Castletown,and repainted in their livery to celebrate 25 years in business.She’s also been re-registered,carrying IOM plates.
