Bert,
have finally bought a scanner, so as promised the first thing i have scanned are some FM pictures for you. I have not learned how to use it properly yet, so they could probably be improved, however this is just a test really to see if they come out ok onto the thread. If so I will do some more.
They are a selection of trucks from Yare Haulage (Frans Maas Great Yarmouth fleet) and were all pulling Phillips trailers. Two of the trucks were registered in Belgium, at the time when UK hauliers were ‘flagging out’ to other EU countries, they were re-registered eventually. The smaller Renault is a low ride too.
Bert,
Promised these before xmas, just got around to doing them, not brilliant, but I’ll keep my eye open for Maas vehicles on the road, while I’m out and about - always got my camera at my side !!
I’ve also bought a better scanner, so I’ll get around to re scanning some of my old photos better.
Regards
Ant

These are good photos Dieselcowboy. ‘David’ is still about, and strangely still driving a Magnum, albeit a rather newer one. I worked for Yare Haulage for around 3 years from 1999 until 2002.

I didend no about English tractors from Yare Haulage had Belgium nomberplates. Agen a new point of the history of Frans Maas U.K.
Also this is a nice picture of an old DAF 2500.
Nice to see the old pictures Dieselcowboy. Thank you.
