Hi Dave , yes i had forgotten Trevor Price and his red TKs , i think he had a AEC Mercury as well , and one of his last wagons was a 8 legger ERF . regards Keith

That’s right Keith. Trevor Pounder who is still driving for Tony Lewis drove the ERF for him. Had a word with Mervyn, he thinks his came from Bulmers originally,as its got green paint underneath the red, also got writing on the chassis. He’s going to upload a pic.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Dave , will look forward to that pic , have since been thinking there was Patricks of Canon Pyon who had sevaral TK Bedfords as well . thanks Dave regards Keith .

Hi Keith,
Yes ■■■■ Patrick ran several TK’s and KM’s and lastly a Scania which my cousin Dennis Lewis drove from new.He work for Patrick’s for several years, then started up on his own running a Scania on livestock.
Cheers Dave.

A young Mervyn Thomas when he drove for Roberts in the 1970’s. Note the fleet number on the cab, indicates how big Roberts was in his day.
