Happy New Year everyone.

The first pic i have put on before but someone has edited it,looks good.

The colour scheme when Danzas took over was rubbish compared in my opinion.

Looking out the window wet and cold ,what great times we had chasing the sun and earning a living at the same time as meeting some great friends along the way.

Well Dean the Axminster Leyland and Kelly Freight Scania I think is in Greece ,Roger White and Eugene Cunningham, the Central Road Transport F88 also driven by Roger White before he came to Axminster, loading at FMC Ferndown I think, Cadwalader with one of the very early 290 F88 and Swains very early Top line Scania.

Cliff,
Not sure if this has been posted before, not my picture,

[cliff_luxton]

Thanks Pete don’t think that has been on before I don’t remember seeing it. I forgot about that trailer used to use it for Westland work as well as others.

Is Westlands still going Cliff, I ask because we have placed a few bins for asbestos removal in the past few months for roofing sheets and the driver told me there where demolition contractors on site? I still think those T45 cabs looked the part! Cheer’s Pete
