This is a September 1973 shot of the first new ERF we bought at Bewick Transport it was a time when I couldn’t get my hands on a new Borderer so the next best thing was an ERF which Eden Commercials at Carlisle just happened to have in stock. ■■■■■■■ 220/RTO 609/D85 axle. it was a nice smooth unit and quiet although it just didn’t perform as well the Borderers but it gave excellent trouble free service on the fleet.Bewick
Interesting to read today that Smiths of Eccles started International transport way back in 1957 so they must have been early on that front, Buzzer
Off FB I’m afraid! Plenty of C-series did ‘internals’ in the Middle East but this is the only example I know of that did the Middle-East run from UK. Pictured here in Istanbul.
EDIT to say I’ve just remembered one other example:
If Sed/Atk can have a thread so can ERF! This is a shot of two Bewick C38s in customer livery parked in the depot at Milnthorpe,they were the last two ERFs,but one,to join the Bewick fleet.
They are very early C Series - not many were registered on the 'X

This is a shot of the “Y” Reg of the trio which went into the Bewick general fleet in August '82.It is seen here in the Sept '82 Kendal Torchlight Procession with its regular driver, Lol Varey, at the wheel.Lol was an absolutley “fastidious” driver and a past master at the art of Sheeting and Roping!! We regularly had into the teens of floats in this annual procession with from memory having 20 in one year.They’re lucky to have numbers bareley over single figures now-a days ,in total!!
