I was looking on the Transcontinental thread and it reminded me that Skilbeech had a Transcon didn’t they?Hi Gary
Yes they did have a Transcon I think John Lee drove it for a while. I am away in Bath for a long weekend but will post a couple of pics of it when I get back.
As promised Gary
And a couple of the Transcon John Pike drove for a man from Poole (Sorry forgotten his name)
Spring Road had a Transcon too
And Phil Grant you can him here doing running repairs!!!
And of course Ronnie Huntley
And Eddie Huntley

In the first pic someone looks as tho they are being a bit rude! Cant see who it is until the second pic…I rekon that was Pete Monger.
Eddie (I broke down on Mt. Cenis) Huntley. Clutch replaced in a railway tunnel by “Storky”. See previous posts…a long way back.
John Pike worked for a Mr. Chandler…cant remember his first name but he had a beard! Does that help? Scorey P. would be able to tell you.

stratford LIFT do you mean olympic site if you have not been there in a while you would not recognise the place, fredm
Hi Fergie
Most of the sad container operators are still doing it for that price, then moaning they cant make any money.
If you want to get in the real money go on tilt( Euroliners) traction some pay as much as £1.18 per mile
Cheers Rich

Badger, you bad boy…we dont (always) drink vino at the breakfast club. This was a Sunday afternoon stint at the local fiesta for local, homemade, wine and meat (salsicha and chorizo) producers. Strong stuff.
The breakfast club is going strong…from 10.00 every day.
In this “Coffee club” foto are Bryan aka “3 Wires”, me, Shirls at the end and Tina (who worked for Townsends and P&O, lived in Merry Oak) in the blue jumper and dark glasses.
My 1988 143 still working hard last week, this time a Chieftain Tank with turret removed still weighed some 35 tons!
