Just out the paint shop and what a smart job i made if i do say so myself.
Hello to you all,
I lived in Hopwas during the late 1970’s, and IIRC there was a local man there who ran a couple of Kenworths on international traction, which he used to park in the village when he was home. I never did find out who he was, even asking in all the houses along the road. IIRC one was a red and white 6x4 flat top, the other a silver/blue Aerodyne. Anybody local know who he was, as I still would love to know!!

Hi Mike, That picture of the C series was taken well over 10 years ago, it was eventually sold to Great Bear at Preston Brook as a yard shunter. Have still got the ERF EC which mainly takes trailers for MOT, the picture below was taken today. Regards Andy T1
