Hi
Think I remember it, wasn’t it a double drive unit that did mostly low loader work.
Regards Steve.

Hello everyone,
Firstly, may I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Steve, yes the lorry was a double drive. Was it hauling F Brown’s Plant Hire trailers??
pete 359, I like the tribute, first class!
Kindest Christmas Regards

When I started driving in 79, Browns had one A series ERF left among the fleet of 111s and 88s, their last day cabbed tramper motor, it was driven by a lad called Dougie from Abbeytown, who later got a 88, they also had a 6 wheeler rigid Volvo 86 (Later sold to Peter Fraser at Silloth) a couple of years later they ran 2 Sed Atk 400s, one driven by Dennis Blacklock ( which was written off on the M6 at Stoke.) Around the same time a lad from Bothel,( I think) had the only 111 which was blinged up with Stacks, spots and chrome wheel trims, has anybody got any pics of any of these motors??

Never worked for them, I just knew a few of the lads, and that is a much later E series ERF, the A series is like this.

Hello Robroy,
Sorry, your right, that is an ERF E series wagon, which was used as a yard shunter until the closer of the haulage fleet.

Hello georgeking, Yes I knew John Armstrong not sure if he is still around. He had a Ford D800 or perhaps a D 1000 (can,t remember) 6 wheeler bulk blower but the signwriter made a mess of it. On one door the address was given correctly as CARDEWLEES whilst the oposite side was signwritten CARDENLEES.
Cheers. Leyland 600
