Hi Chris Hill came to the yard today he told me that Peter Howlett was known as ‘Captain Birdseye’ when he worked for Hill’s of Botley… Unfortunately he passed away some 8 or so years ago.
He drove one of these ex Gulfsped DAF 2800 6X4’s LVS83P
Sorry Pat, hadn’t realised that Pitter Seddon had been on before, found it in a book.
One from Poole:
I think McGregor Cory had about 10 of these Maggies you could swap the tipper body with a 20’ container as it was on twistlocks, picture here in Canute Road Southampton outside the Dockies Club I think.
Sibley’s T/A Material Movements had at least one of those Maggie tippers as well as a Sedac!

Hello everybody,
the first thing i would like to say is how sad i am to hear about Stan Compton. ( thanks for phone call Rich )
I, like Pat worked with Stan on Sea Route in the late 70,s but i had,nt seen him since those days.However the recent photo
you put on of Stan Tribsa was typical of how i remember him. Always a smile on his face.
My sincere condolences go to Fran.Rodney Redgrave…I remember you showing me the way to Barcelona on my first trip to Spain in the 70,s
I must have been a right pain cos i stuck with you like [zb] to a blanket.
We shipped out Poole to Cherbourg on Truckline…well the lorries did, we had the pleasure ( not ) of flying.
If you look at page 18 of this thread, you,ll see a pic of your Transcon that i took at La Junquera.( mine was the ERF)

Hi MJMI don’t recall it but the old brain is not what it used to be and yes if it had the EFH reg I would pesume that I must have registered it at Portsmouth, but I used to buy and sell to Peter Gilder at Stow in the Wold and I think that he had some dealings with good old Brian Palmer.
Incidentally I bought a Scania, which I’ve only just found out on this forum, had apparently been on the Herald of Free Enterprise when it sank! So that must have come from Mr Palmer I never knew and we had no problem with it either!! Small world isn’t it??
This was it, someone on the ‘Woolpit’ thread said it!

Hi Pat,
Ive just been back peddaling a while here. Isnt this truck in the picture one you sold later to a guy in Salisbury called Andy? Im sure this one got written off through a toll booth in Greece?
Ah! I found this in a box of stuff, this means I can go to Italy on holiday…always keep one in your pocket, you never know when you will need a phone! Mind you, it’s last value was 200 lira, could be worth a fortune now, maybe I’ll stick it on FleaBay!
Spotted this on EBay
Ennis Stratton came in yesterday he was just back from a holiday in St Lucia and brought in these pics of trucks out there.
Hi all, hey Pat nice pics mate, it was a good job I was doing a hand stand at the time !
