Questions!
Was chatting with my son and mentioned some of the old companies on here and how I came to work/ be in contact with them, told him some of the firms such as Robsons Carlisle, [ Border Reiver etc. any pics?] and was talking about the old CB stuff. I told him of 633 Squadron, and thought that was Barnfather and Wilkes, but as I think more Iâm sure that was wrong. Can anybody help me out here? Who were 633 Squadron.? Its doin me heed in like.

Great pics of Robsons. They used to carry Plaster from British Gypsum Penrith to where I worked. It was one of their drivers finally âconvincedâ our Boss to actually try a forklift for unloadingâŚIt used to be ALL handball. Plaster Plasterboards Cement Bricks Blocks Land Drain Tiles, and not small loads eitherâŚMost drivers would help unload. Even see 4 wheelers here with a dismountable flt on the back, Dont know there bornâŚ
Still one or two flats about jimbo but not that many all fabricating & heavy manufacturing disapearing from the North East now. Had 29yr ropes & Sheets but apart from a month I did for Ray Wright the last 9yr been Tanks then curtains. How long since you lived over here .
Cheers David,how about some of your own wagons.

Yes it is, the other one is Maurice Taylor [RIP], In his prime, Maurice was a cracking bloke, I had some good nights with him on the Hill, In the Crooked Billet Boozer, in the 60s, they were great, when long distance driving was a pleasure, all gone sadley to say, Regards Larry.
