I know its a long shot, but was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the Scanias that the above company used to run on livestock work. They were dark green with a red stripe on the units and yellow lettering on the trailers
Thanks in advance

Cracking fleet in their day and a great bunch of lads, can’t believe I never took photos as a kid when I would see them week in week out when working with my dad at cattle markets
have got a couple of their calenders buried away, so if I can locate them will get then scanned and posted up
Thanks wardg, that would be great if you had some pics that you could scan
