1960. The first brand new wagon I got working for Baxters Road Services, Newcastle on Tyne.
That photo’s covered a “few mile” in the wallet by the looks of it Larry ? Cheers Dennis.
[/quote It sure has Dennis I was chuffed with the new wagon & showed the photos to everyone,I got the picked to have the new one, & being the youngest driver it didnt go down very well with some of the older ones, but I didnt mind tramping about in those good old days, Regards Larry.[attachment=0]
OK the scrapbook thread is throwing up some interesting stuff but I thought I’d better start a new thread for this one. Lets see you too with your wagon, Dates etc too, no porkies. I’ll start, this would be around 1988 and I was 24.
Here’s one of me and my 141 on Christmas day 1989 at Mosul, Iraq. If you look closely you can see me and Bob “Animal” Hedley are wearing Christmas hats.!!
Good one Woolfie,a great idea for a thread. Although that pic of yoursen can’t be 1988 as the Merc is J reg more like '91 ish I reckon.

Hi John, at a guess I would say that you were parked next to the salt lakes at Tuz Golu between Ankara and Aksaray.
If you had stopped at The Telex Hotel in Ankara and if you had made an early start the next morning then I wouldn’t be surprised if you had stopped here for breakfast .
Regards Steve.
Me and the old Douglas shunter we had at Maltby,ex Harwich docks.About 1996.
In a Glass Glover Scania 112m just top side of the Haven Cafe on the A1 near Doncaster.Either Penrith or Morpeth trunk,summer 1983ish.apologies for the angry expression,my mate was winding me up!
Showing off with new Terberg,about 2002.
I started on the road in 1968 but no photos until 1976.
