Hi all.
Cliff great shot there of Richard Ford’s F88. I always liked their livery and Ware Transports too! Especially the Daf’s.
Dean and Paul great photo’s as usual. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Good shot of a HY-MAC 580 on the army Crusader. All long gone.
Regards Paul
Chris Webb:
Anyone recognise the Marathon tanker ■■?
I think it’s one of Leather’s Chemicals from Bradford when the livery was changed from green.I remember that colour int 70s.
But there again can’t be sure,could be one of Buckley’s Warrington or RTS from Runcorn.
I am surprised how many pics of tankers with no names on them we have had Chris, and there are some
more to come !

Well well, FFR400W, I’ll have a route through some dusty boxes and see if I can find some pics of that when new. 1st registered 4/11/80 if I remember correctly. 1626 on a 3.2m w/b M cab with a top bunk, 5.22 diff, 12R22.5 Michelins and a Blaupunkt New York. First driven by the late Ernest Hartley, who moved on to a new 1625 the following September, then driven by Bill Redmayne who some while later decided to have a go on his own and asked if he could buy it, a deal was done so we didn’t actually have it very long, just under 2 years in all. Now we know where it ended up.

Thanks for the info Paul and pics. They looked much better blue and yellow than boring white !
I remember going there in the late `80s and I was told about Gunter being an ex POW .
Remember those Motorola radios we all had on the back wall of the cab…

Stiller bought out carline but kept the name so they could load out off the steelworks without them registering their details as carline was already in there cheers John
The man was used in port talbot steelworks as a shunter that why the number plate is ctl (carline transport) also ex Cardiff transport (ct). Cheers John
