Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)


Found this on social media so not my picture but thought it’s too good not to share cheers Gary

It probably needed a little elbow grease to manoeuver! A good old British truck as I love them.

Oily I have borrowed this off the Southampton thread but a classic picture of time gone bye, Dukes of Bishops Waltham every thing handball note the sack trucks on top of the load. Personally I worked for Dukes Romsey mill this was a brother of the owner of this setup as a trainee sales rep and general dogs body delivering small amounts of feed so no one ran out till the big trucks delivered, I had a Bedford HA van on an F reg and that was in 69, Buzzer.

Hi Buzzer, great old photo…from Cowley (A34) we used to cut through from Winchester to Wadhams at Southsea via Bishops Waltham and have recollections of a transport cafe about there somewhere, maybe Waltham Chase, good old days yes.

Yep., If it was like the Foden eight leggers I drove, it was than a little elbow grease. It was always a matter of aiming them at corners and hope nothing came the other way. :slight_smile:

On those cobbles I expect that milk was cheese by the time it got to its destination :slight_smile:

I have never seen inside one of those Bussings but I suppose that, without an engine, there would be loads of room inside, even without a modern high roof.

Morning all,
What about a brand new F12 just out of the box with destination sticker in the windscreen. Harvey

Thanks to adr and HRS for the pics :smiley: :smiley:

How about this Chris, a similar outfit now in preservation, might even be the same wagon with minor changes.

Do you reckon that was a rigid converted to an artic Steve ? The only other thing i can think of is if it had one of those
huge sleeper/living areas like the Kenworth and it was taken off ! But why would you take it off ,most strange.
