Hi MOC. I recall these AEC Marshalls of Inverdon passing through Carlisle regularly in the mid 1960s to 1970 they used to park up on The Sands lorry park in Carlisle along with other North East Scotland refrigerated hauliers D.A. Macrae’s Red M Brand Kippers, Thos Gibb Ltd, Buchan Meat Producers and Vic Mathers Transport to name a few. They appeared to favour AEC Mustang Chinese Sixes and Marshall six wheelers with the odd Atki and ERF. All these wagons had very smary liveries and were generally kept in good condition despite the miles they were doing on A class roads with few motorways then.
Cheer, Leyland 600.
Thanks for the info Leyland600. Before my time,but obviously the hauliers of that time up north ,it sounds like they did favour the Aec
Marshalls and Mustang chinese 6s,thats why there seems to be quite a lot of the old pics still around of them, thanks Moc.

Just googled “Priestman Caribou”, the same picture’s on a construction website, caption says it’s a Mack. That certainly looks like a Perkins “square deal all round” badge, probably fitted by Priestman instead of the juicy petrol.

Hi MOC, The D.A. Harrison ERF 66GX six wheeler was new the British Rayophane Ltd of Wigton and driven daily from new by my neighbour regularly delivering cellophane paper to John Players and W.D. & H.O. Wills the cigarette manufacturers at Nottingham and Bristol as well as many other customers. The wagon eventually was sold to W.P.Bell & Sons an old established Wigton haulier who ran it for a few more years before they sold out to Harrisons whose livery it is seen here.
Cheers Leyland 600

Heres a shot of a nice little Atky we ran in the early/mid 70’s 6LW/DB6spd/Eaton single drive,had an all alloy 24ft flat and we could just about get 10 ton onto it ! It ran like a little “sewing machine”.Cheers Bewick.
Hi Bewick, An ex Suttons motor by the look of it, I bet she was a machine to make you money, economical and reliable eh!
Cheers Leyland 600

Hi Bewick and Leyland 600. Its really good that you guys know so much history about many of the old firms and lorrries that were working in the early days. glad we still keep the pics
coming in Cheers for that 
One day travelling up to Kilmarnock circa 1976 I found that the road was blocked just north of Kirkconnel where the local garage recovery unit (an ex WW2 Guy Quad four wheel drive) was crossways on the carriageway trying to pull a Bedford TK out of a wood some distance of the road with its own winch. All he succeeded in doing was to pull himself further into the wood. At the head of the traffic queue was an ERF identical to the Andrew Hogg 8 wheeler pictured here standing quietly and patiently ticking over until the driver suggested the recovery driver anchor himself to the front of his ERF then he popped it into reverse and almost pulled the Guy Quad in half on tickover the TK started to move back a few yards then the winch took over finally extracting the Bedford. These ERFs were always smart in their green and cream livery hauling bitumen in those demountable tanks. Cheers Leyland 600

Same motor shot at the Garage in Milnthorpe,loaded with Limestone water worn rockery from Orton Scar ( not very PC to-day!)it all went to garden centres in the South East,they went mad for it down there,it’s a wonder the UK didn’t tip up with all the loads that were shipped down over the years.I believe the enviromentalists want it all back now !!! The rockery was a regular load for this motor during the time we ran it,some of it we sent on our shorter trailers ( 36 footers) because there were some larger centers that could take the artics.

Yea I remember in the 70s ,i had a landscaping co,and everyone wanted a rockerys built with that worn limestone.i used to buy it all from a very big independant Garden centre in Kent
that could take 40 foot trailers, with peat bales or rockery stone,the garden centres charged big money per ton for that,and for sure that,and wasnt going to continue for ever before Kent started to sink
