Thanks to Ken Ludlam for this, a classic pic from Carnforth based Haulier Alan Thompson, tidy old F88.

EDIT: And the link if it still refuses to display properly.

Thanks “dew” for the photograph of Alan Thompsons Volvo. To update , heres a photo of one of the current fleet.

The fleet colours have been retained from G.R. Bargh ,- the hauliers business Alan bought in the early 1970s.
Only the name , etc., differs from the photo of the Albion I posted earlier this month.
(Thanks to "oiltreader for enlarging the photo)

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Capsticks from White Lund. The Seddon Atkinson was a demonstrator when new with a
steel tipper body on it. I had it for a week and put some miles on it. The Volvo had a
previous owner too judging by the number plate.

John Dainty from Forton. The unit caught me by surprise in Aberdeen.

Dainty’s, now there’s a company with a very, interesting history lol.

Apparently they still operate although on a much smaller scale and using incognito wagons.

Carnforth-based Alan Thompson`s Scania 6 wheeler is seen here at Crooklands Auction Mart.
The Scania is fitted with one of the latest designs of the Houghton-Parkhouse livestock bodies.

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

The same Scania , this time coupled to a shortened semi-trailer to form a centre-axled drawbar trailer.

Advance apologies if the photograph appears small. I can`t reproduce the photo size when scanning from a 6" x 4" photo.

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Hi “Lancastersheepxpress” ,
Welcome to TruckNet . Your contributions and photographs will always be welcome on any thread.

I often used to deliver livestock to R.P. Winder`s slaughterhouse in Morecambe, and I can remember the Scania 6 wheeler
and the M.A.N. artic. The Scania driver had dark hair a black beard , - was he your father ?

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Hi cattle wagon man,
yes that’s him, he had a 6 wheeler Seddon Aki before the Scania and aVolvo wagon and drag before that,but that would be in the 80’s.The scania was repainted grey just in the bottom half of the cab around the time Winders moved to Blackpool I think
