Hi All,
As promised, I’ll post a few of the photos that seem to have gone missing off this thread

My motor for a while on LDT - Mosspak

Thought all them ldt drivers spent all there time in the club next to mosspak, it was broken down most of the time.

That may well be true !!! - Not anymore though - it burnt down last year

true that DAF was’nt the best, didn’t have it for long, had one of the F10’s andd the Scania 112 after that - Happy Days

Regards
Ant

Used to go in there with blue and white leyland roadtrains ant, don’t know if you remember.
Bowen from pembridge.

Just looking back through and remember the name of the unloaded man at moss pack as Neville, does this ring a bell

Hiya i saw the surge lads at a rally in Smallwood last year. i used to load off cut girders from there in the early 80’s for
Sheffield. John has a fab shop just off the A 34.i don’t know what Alan and Malc are doing i never asked them
but did speak with them. Alan has a photo site on Flikka i forget what he calls it. if you go to Google then images
then key in J K Sturge lorries you’ll find a few photo’s of their lorries around the steel works. there are more but i
can’t remember where to find them
