hiya,
They don’t always get to work when the “currant bun” is out Dave although in my case it looked like my motors had always driven through a storm and that was even after a long dry spell, ah well nobody’s perfect.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Harry,
We took about twenty pics at that layby last week.Phil’s new motor was the first to come by,but it was raining to much to get a decent pic,with the first few of the others it wasn’t so heavy and I was flicking the wipers on and off.Highly technical stuff 
.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Rich,
Great pics,its good to look at something like that and see what blokes like Bill drove during their driving career.
Cheers Dave.
Bill is going to try and get some old photos of Stowfield in its Hoveringham days, have put the feelers out with one or two Ex- Hoveringham drivers.He said there are one or two from your neck of the woods hauling out of Stowfield at the moment.Regards Rich.

I expect there are Rich,there’s usually quite a bit of backloading going on.I remember the Hoveringham lorries well from the days when I drove for C M Philpotts,hauling out of the Gore which was then owned by Mann-Abell who had several quarries in the Forest.I did a lot of loads around Gloucester and the Forest,also to the M5 especially Moreton Valance airfield where they had a tar plant for the building of the M5.
Cheers Dave
