I’ve noticed that they ran a lot of DAF’s and Ivecos in later years how many of these makes did they have?I have also seen some Renaults and Mercedes transporters.
There were loads of DAFs 2500 4x2,85 4x2,95 4x2 &6x2.
4 Iveco Eurotech 4x2 & 1 Iveco 6x2.
6 Renault G340, 2 R340, 5 Premiums, 2x 5 tonners
2 Merc 1624 tractors 2or3 Drawbars, 307 & 306 3 1/2 tonners.[/quot
Was there any other interesting vehicles in the fleet?How about Horse & Carts have a photo somewhere, 1940’s Morris Commercials, 4x4 Canadian Fords, 6x6 GMC’s, 6x6 DUKW’s Various Bedfords, ex wd 6x4 Dodge, 6x6 AEC, 6x6 Atkinson, 4x4 AEC , Foden 8x4 & 6x4 tippers & flats, BMC transporters, flats, tippers& hanging meat van, Commer TS3, Albion 4x2,6x4,8x4,Leyland 4x2,6x2,6x4,8x4
It would be great if there were some photos of these vehicles.

Just for a bit of variety heres a selection of what was in NT Whitfields yard last summer, a few oldies amongst them
A print on the office wall:
Tag axle F12 shunter still going strong:
This was lurking in a shed:
And some modern stuff:
The new wrap livery is one of the better ones I’ve seen but I still prefer the old signwriting. The gaffer said its about a third of the price to get them wrapped though
Anyway mr wheatley where are all these glenndinning photos at?

Well done Buzz you have finally cracked it! Freddie Mecro, Mick Gillespie at Cargo, was speaking to him a few weeks ago, Undertaker Davy Burn, Brian Marlow was at Walon a few years ago, The two Bridgewater Men Dave Rubery (Crockett), Alan Evans ( Jakie Mann after the hostage) cannot emagine he can still be around, looked knackered 15years ago.
