lets get home from Dover 
these were loads for ALLPORTS -
other P&O - PLAIN BUT EFFECTIVE
Then you had P&O’s Competition BRAIN’S
This firm with thier gucci drivers - gold bracelets were some outfit.
loadsa 110 / 111’s
Only thing i didnt like was when Brains refurbed a scania they made thier own grill badges - urghh 
Now time to pull in the CABIN AT GRAYS FOR A NIGHTOUT - SEE YOU TOMORROW - TAKE CARE ALL.
Had these piccies for some years Chalkey don’t even know where
they came from
Now that is a proper looking set-up. I was never a full on Scania supporter but that 143 with a step frame on the back definatly looks the dogs whats-its!! 
Very nice and it knocks spots off some of todays all auto-boxed, computer controlled, enviromentally friendly machines:wink:
Would take that down to Spain, Greece or where ever any day, rather than a modern day Scania, Volvo etc.
good speech bullitt… 
chalkey:
Glad you are enjoying these pics.Now we move onto P&O ROADWAYS - ESSEX DEPOT
Orsett to be precise.
This pics are for Bert - My dad worked here for many years on contract to FRANS MAAS - running mainly hazardous cargo to Italy.
Into Somasi - Milan then onward collection and deliveries.
Here is one of the new MAN home for Co driver and legend ALEX ■■■■■■■■
(THE COMB) RIP - Whom sadly died last year in a road accident in the Ardennes ,he was my dads closest friend.
Thanks Chalkey, for the pictures.
Special the Scania 143 is a nice combination off tractor and trailer. Good pimpt for those days.
Can you make the pics off the MAN wat bigger foor me? 
Regards, Bert Wolters
Chalkey Did you know much about the P&O Roadways Barking I think Ian Lindsay was the manager then and the yard was down near Barking power station as when I was a Russell Davies we had a joint venture going working out of the Comtainerbase Baking for OCL.We also had some trucks based at Orsett on the containers before it closed down.Remember Trevor Starkes very well that 141 was his pride and joy I only ever see it as 4 wheeler though.
Nice Thread Chalkey and in case there are some who haven’t seen it there’s another Essex Int thread here

Then on the arterial road - after owned by Willhire - now flats.
Heres his wrecker.
The next pic you can see a blue Scania with a “de beers” cab - this truck is now laying with another in rushgreen - not looking to good.
After my grandad died Rush green bought most of the stock.
