Craicin pic.
Always like looking outside of the box . .looks like a Morris Marina,Zephyr 6 and a . . Wartburg?

I was thinking Volvo 144/164■■[/quote
On second thoughts,could be a Hillman Avenger at the front,tadge early for a Marina,going by the reg of the Aec.
I presume thats the driver holding the load up,if he let go . .would it all fall off?
Reckon you are right about the Volvo.

would`nt that be a zodiac with twin headlights maybe an executive, I had one of them what a car except for the way it could drink petrol happy days, fredm

yep - got to be a Zodiac (the Zephyr had single headlamps) and the executive had a thing on the bonnet that stuck up like a Mercedes - but it was rectangular

Somewhere in Liverpool I think??

Any info on this ADR1? bales are never easy to load but they looked to be solid

Does anyone else think that he was a bit of a muffin to put the bottom layer on their ends?

Hi Rof, the whole load is a f–k up, top tier drops through second tier and pushes the lot out, and yes Ramone they were solid didn’t need much rope when loaded right, probably his first load, as we all made ■■■■ ups on ours, only his dropped off, :open_mouth:
Les.

Looking at all the mills in that photo im going to suggest Accrington or Burnley areas ?. possibly James Dewhursts as i used to take bales into them like no Tomorrow.


Taken in the grounds of the Hollands pie factory at Baxenden after the van ran away and finished up in the lodge.

I often wondered how Hollands managed to keep their fine fleet looking so clean. :laughing: Their tasty pies were watertight` , - no gravy leaked , even when hot. :exclamation:

It looks like competition to the Scampi Fries Leyland Roadrunner television advert. :unamused:

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

That wasn’t in there very long. The poor old driver reversed back a bit too far with a full load of grain & gravity done the rest. If I remember correctly he got out ok.
