Hundred House is on A442 just before island at Sutton Maddock, Apley estates behind it so they may have been working out of there?

glad to hear your getting better Dave.

I think they had Perkins P6 and 5 speed Moss gearboxes


My good friend Graham sent me these pics of his new Scania with a Hitachi machine he moved, which was featured in a national magazine called
Heavy Torque. I will let Graham fill in the details.

Thanks for the magazine and pics Graham.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
It’s nice to see Graham’s postings, always welcome, and heavy haulage at it’s best,
with the gear for the job and not a job that you can just stick anyone on a great
deal of experience needed for that type of work only achievable by being hands
on and many many hours of doing and working with the more experienced lads.
just thinking what’s become of another of our heavy haulage chums namely our
“Dessert Driver” it’s ages since we’ve heard from him, unless I’ve missed his posts.
thanks harry, long retired.

If they’re like the Oxfordshire Highways lot, they’ve probably stopped to look for the daftest place to setup traffic lights.

I do see Keith on the forum Harry, he must be taking a look. I think that last time he posted, he said that he is on the spanners more than behind the wheel these days.
Cheers Dave.
