Hi Pat; I am pretty sure John Cooper from Bedford had LJA from new (or almost new). Check out my pics of it on the “Rokold” thread (last page or so). Regards Ash.

I know their diesel supplier did’nt get paid and won’t supply now. I’d bet on one of the old company names taking the hit and coopers being hero’s and buying it all as a going concern! There must be a good tax reason for Coopers keeping Boyes and Royers all in existance, maybe now is ‘that rainy day’. I hope its all kept going by the administrator until they sort themselves out. Did they not just lose a big contract to Harris’s etc?

Here,s another photo of Graham Wainwrights Volvo. At least he managed to keep it upright this time.
This was somewhere in Germany.

BFC Transport was owned by Bill Aldridge based in Chandlers Ford on what is now ASDA. Barry Jellis was the transport manager he left and started PENTALVER. AKT was Arthur Kneller. Together Barry and Arthur started SHAMARA. The company with the yellow Fodens was PBC who later were CABMONT and then BRITISH INTERNATIONAL. Also around at the time, EUROHAUL, JAMESONS, STRATTONS, RIJBA, SRT, and many other small hauliers and one man bands but that was the days when haulage was a thriving industry in the Southampton area.
