Another view of the AEC,this time on the back of Trant’s Foden en route to show at Beaulieu
No doubting were it came from John always well looked after did me proud that one,funny I had the driver on the phone this morning that used to drive it for me he said do you remember when the gearstick came off in my hand and got it welded back on for 10 pounds in Morocco.
Yes i stand corrected.Just before I retired I was on the boxes out of Soton,and heard PMP were looking for drivers.However I then found out John Ward was the main man. I then decided I was ok where I was( Royers Transport) The last time I spoke to John I cast doubts on his parentage! No chance!

This is one of 2 Guy Warrior Light 8s supplied in summer 1959 by the then Southampton Guy distributor,Munn & Underwood. Both vehicles-the other being WHO 877 - were to the same lightweight spec-AV470 engines,Eaton 2 speed axles & could legally carry in excess of 17tons
Guy’s publicity department took this photograph at Cerebos Foods factory in Middlewich.The driver’s expression is as a result of having to stand on the wheel ring for longer than he wanted !
Victory Transport drivers had a choice of corner boards : either 2 piece wooden ones or metal ones. This driver (Vic Hooper) obviously preferred metal ones. By the mid sixties,plastic corner boards were standard
