A super photo of this ERF E14 from Ron Waetherhall’s collection. Thanks Ron.

Keep em coming please Dave,ta,Pete


Another from Ron Weatherall’s Mid Wales album.


Another from Welshpool,from Ron Weatherhall’s album.


Tinted glass spoils the pics,seen on the A49 at Marlbrook, Leominster.


One from Ron’s album. Potter’s from Welshpool run several businesses from Welshpool including their transport arm.

Cracking pics as always,nice to see trucks turned out proper instead of plain white with some crappy stickers on,ta,Pete


Another from Ron Weatherall’s great collection.

I’ve had the pleasure of delivering there for Bulmers. From there it was over to the New Harp at Hoarwithy then back to Hereford with the empties. Can’t believe we used to have a free half pint at every pub and still consider ourselves sober enough to drive an HGV home. :blush:
