Cheers Mick not the F7 I was looking for that was woody Allens I had its sister B831 pic of F10 F830 was when it was Kieth Butlers I got it when Kieth went Shunting. The pic of the D reg tag with Big Chris on the front was Crissy Rhem the only man I have seen eat 2 dinners in Normans now no longer with us smashing kid but didn`t have the best of luck with the oppisite ■■■ died in a knife incident with his partner few yrs ago still only a young bloke. Pics brought back few memories who drove what etc.etc The pic of the B reg F6 artic was either Maurice Jarvis or Jacki Robsons, Jacki has just died in an accident a week gone Fri with a Hargreaves wagon not sure he died before he went off the road will have to wait for the inquest.

Kev pleased you mentioned Tyne Tees stuck me application in couple of months ago never had any word about anything

Kenny, i’m not involved with the admin of the TyneTees but I’m sure someone will take note of your comment. Hope to see you there . regards kevin.

yes Bolams moter there was 2 like that new type of suspension G ride or something he didnt have it long Armstrong sold them on dont know why, think he was offered good money for them , Armstrong replaced them with 2 new FL10s Harry & Colin werent too pleased. The old y reg F10 brotherton mick posted was also Harry`s.Not long after harry got that white F10 new a couple of traffic cops followed him into the yard & insisted as it was on cheap tax he should be running with the tag down even when empty
Never been to Witton since the last Truckshow was going to go with the old transit some vintage show up there but it clashes with something else

Hi Kevmac47, Will be attending the TT run when it reaches Bents Park at South Shields but the other half wishes to come along as well. One snag here in that she is in a wheelchair do i just park on the sea front using the Blue Badge and push her across or is there any facility inside the park (unlike Harry Long Retired who has a powered bath chair this one takes a bit of muscle).

regards

Mick.
