Getting the hang of it now.

hiya,
If that crash rail is as close as it looks he’s not going to get straightened up in that short
distance, pull her forward and start again there’s a good chap.
thanks harry, long retired.

Blimey I would have to go with Harry there Dave, unless that’s a very short dangler or she pulls forward, she must almost be on the barrier now. If she keeps going she’s going to be looking for a set of new rear light lenses.

She did have a few shunts John, if you look on the previous page,there is an earlier pic. I think she was learning. The whole lot of those showman,plus a lot more are at Hereford now.
Cheers Dave.

They still have a few Foden’s and ERF’s Pete,but as you say,a few FH’s and Scania’s now,also a couple of Mercs. We saw quite a few at Hereford yesterday,met more heading for there tonight. My camera person didn’t fancy a ride around them tonight. I did offer.

To be fair Pete. Tracy has taken thousands off lorry pics for me whilst we are mobile, and at shows, in haulage yards and at Transport Cafes, not many women would have the patience. She can even tell the make of wagon approaching, after several years of taking pics.
She does draw the line, when we go on holiday. No Lorry pics, but I do get her to take a few during a week away.
Cheers Dave.
