Thanks for the pics Dean and Robert haven’t seen them before…I did see the Keedwell F88 at the wessextruckshow Bubbleman but it was Saturday and the owner was not there till Sunday so no chance of a chat,did meet up with some old friends from Axminster day’s, also Framptons drivers and some old Compton drivers.

Thanks Marsland, Dean , and Suedehead for the input, that 6 wheeler was used mainly on roofing felt and driven by Tim Murison.

I’m sorry to say we’ve lost another of our friends and a great character who took me on my first overseas trip to Rungis. Jack Dunham R.I.P. I have some great memories of travelling with Jack who worked for Central Road Transport for many years. This is just one occasion when I had a flat tyre on the motorway in Italy Jack stopped to help as people did back then. You will be sadly missed Jack ,reunited with old friends Tony and Vic on those motorways in the sky.R.I.P. old friend.

I had a nice day out on Sunday meeting some of the Southampton drivers at there annual bash , some I knew some putting faces to names thanks for making me welcome.
Tuesday wasn’t such a happy occasion but nice to see so many of the old drivers turn out for Jack Dunham at his funeral , he certainly had a very loving family around him.R.I.P. Jack.
