no sorry, I’ve uploaded all the Pickering photos I had
Final batch of pics to come and then I’m finished!
next few are from a family holiday to Chamonix in 1990/91, which me and my mate spent up at the tunnel looking at trucks!
I gave that MacHays Magnum a jump start in Southern Italy. Dennis Mathews was driving it. I had that Eurotrans F12 on for Marco. Steady little number, load strawberries Salerno to Berlin ,backload Hanover for Athens,then nip over to Salerno again. I drove one of them Essex motors for Jack for a fill in.
Those show trucks look like they have collided with a paint shop & come out the other side!
Ps. There was nothing steady about Marco! 
I was round at my parents’ house today and decided to have a look through my old scrapbooks and photo albums I collected from being a kid (4-5 yrs old) right up through my teens and beyond. I still take the occasional truck pics, but nothing like as many as I used to. I’ve got well over 3,000 photos in the loft at their house - I used to spend all my money getting films developed!
Anyway, I took a few digital camera pics of stuff to maybe jog a few people’s memories about firms and trucks you don’t see around any more. So, more “modern” stuff first then the classics to come at a later date!
By the way, these are/were all (mostly) local firms to me in Goole, with a few show pics and others dotted around…
This is me aged about 15 posing with the first ever Magnum I’d seen out on the road!
I believe this was the first mid-axle 6x2 Magnum in the UK - owned by FD Eyre of Howden
and a few of FJL Chantry’s fleet in Hook, Goole - my best mate’s dad was the mechanic there and we used to look after the wagons after school and on holidays and even took them to Pickering truck show a couple of years
loading a flat-top F10 at Maxi Haulage in Ayr I think - we went there and back in a day one Saturday!
this is the same F10 after it had been painted - A289 RGB - it was mostly used on local work and shunting
and here it is again at Pickering truck show
the next batch of pics will be really old clippings from mags and brochures that I’d kept in scrap books!!
Well done Kev. Mint pictures
Carl will be happy to see that proper DAF Spacecab of Alan Taylors.
To answer your Dads questions about where I went after United Carriers, well Woodbrow was the first place, the lad on top of the DAF 95 tank was the fitter but he has since become an owner driver, He runs a couple of old 142’s now, one came from Martin Parrott after another mate owned it. My mate who lives locally to me in Derby now drove the big Renault. I must have been out earning some money in my DAF 
Did you take the BB READ pictures across the road from Woodbrow? If so that was after Barry Read sold out to Ken Matthews.
HB Holt is in Howden as you know now but they were in Gilberdyke near the new school, that picture looks like Goole Docks with the AS Haulage ERF next to the Volvo.
Chantry was the company that Bryan Swales who is the owner of Intasite drove for, and he bought an F88 that he first drove there. Did you know Dave Walker and “Midnight Dynamo”?
That photo of the D & S Walker Scania is ominous, the Twin Towers and Concorde flying over it 
Post me some more, what about Beltons?
great pics keep them coming
brilliant selection, please keep them coming.
i believe that d&s walker scania was pulling for frans maas several years ago, but i cant remember who owned it at the time

The BB Read pics were taken at their yard in Brid one Sunday after a trip to the coast. I just happened across it so sneaked in. Loved that FH, just cos of the number plate! I didn’t realise Read had sold out to Matthews - such a shame to lose a fleet as striking as that. Mind you, Matthews had some decent motors at one time. They’ve gone to the wall now too though I think?
Woodbrow had some tidy motors - as a measure of how far I was willing to go for a truck photo, I often used to cycle from Goole to Newport on a Sunday just to see what was knocking about in their yard and Matthews’ yard! I might have some more woodbrow pics, and I’ve definitely got more pics of matthews’ trucks so i’ll dig them out.
The Holt F12 was taken on the timber terminal in Goole, correct. They have some really tidy motors now, they seem to have done well out of the palletforce contract. I don’t think I’ve got any recent pics of their fleet, can never seem to snap their T-cab Scania.
I’d never noticed the plane/twin towers thing on DS Walker’s Scania until you just mentioned it - how bizarre!
Yeah I know Dave Walker pretty well - used to go to athletics club in Goole with his daughter and my mate used to spend his summer holidays going on the “pea run” to London markets with him.
I’m off work again tomorrow, so I’ll go back round and take a few more. i could literally post all 3,000 pics and you lot would be interested though!
Well I for one will be interested in all 3000 pics especially Woodbrow and Matthews.
Holt’s don’t bite, they would probably let you in to take a few pictures, Stuart is as barmy about lorries truckshows & motorbikes as you and I.
I will put a message on my facebook to them and see if I can get you a bigger one than this on the web.
yeah, it’s a smart truck that one for sure! while you’re facebooking them, see if they have any jobs going for me!
it’s not the problem of taking digi pics of all 3,000 photos, it’s the slow and painful process of uploading them all!
what I might do is take a load, zip them up into a folder and put that somewhere like megaupload or rapidshare if people want to download it?
nice to see the woodbrow pics,my dad used to work for townson before they got bought by sadlers in out in oldham

That Dutch Magnum looks like it is parked near to what was Hudson Ward, can you remember the 141 Scanias they ran into the 80s one of them was driven by Brian Shirley, CB Handle (Gravedigger) and he was mates of Bernard Daubney (Daytripper)
I stole these pictures from the facebook pages of young Holt and explained why I wanted them. The best one is the Yamaha R1
The other picture is the Scania in the Howden Yard. This was the yard that was originally owned by Hewson Bros / Bullens
A model off the internet, £20
the bike looks great, cheers for the pics
i’ve got a pic of a hudson ward 141 in amongst my albums, i’ll dig it out!
some more from the collection - I’ll have another dig around in the loft tomorrow and see what else I can unearth!

Bloody hell, forgot all about Wagstaffs, that Hewson Transcontinental will cause some creamy knickers I have been waiting a long time for these Mr Challenger. Thanks.
It’s nice to know Holts are still going.I remember their yard at Gilberdyke on the A63,they had some big motors in the 70s. 
And I’d forgotton about Wagstaffes,Doncaster and F.D.Eyre as well!
Thanks for posting.
no problem, will have to see what else i can unearth
