Someone may know the Foden,distinctive white circle on door â â ?
Ford transon
B.Chilton & Sons from ? South Wales,very smart.
R.Stamp & Sons, Guy Big J
F88 any ideas ? Again a distinctive sign on the side.
Havenât had a Roman for a while.
Looks like these were taken at Poole docks.
Eastern Roadways,heavy haulier Foden.
Hans Franke, Volvo F88. Not sure but these looks like they may have been taken at Fleets Bridge,Poole ?
Not sure when the flyover was built.
Its surprising what pictures can be â â â â â â â with pics/snippets from the commercial motor and other
magazines.

The Hansons Atkinson Defender has a mud flap on a bar from the chassis fitted between the rear set of wheels, some our Sed Ak 400âs had them but they were a nuisance so got chopped off!

It looks like the Morfa transport Atki has been retired since the 5th wheel is missing and it appears that one of the run up ramps has been cut off. I wonder did it get across the yard under its own steam or was it towed by the Matador? The unidentified Borderer looks like it is from the same stable as well.

Think your spot on Pete,close up pic !
Nice pic of Stamps big J , shame about the chains and headboard ! Dad worked there for a long time donât think he would have taken one like that . Geoff
The Franke Volvo could be a real TFB 89 with left hand drive and the big hub reduction called NR 2.
Can anyone make out the Reg on Ewins & Sons F88 on page 18, it looks to me like one I owned back in the early 80âsâŚFBT 219L, but canât just make it out.

Thanks for the transporters Dean remember reading somewhere that Progressive Group initial order with AEC ergos was for 72 units, Mercury and Mandator.

Hello Oily, the Progressive transporter, looks like Johnny Pratts motor from Coventry, he blinged it up a lot more, but it never looked the same after James Car delivery took them over and painted it Orange.

Must admit i never noticed that ,the old Atki must have been at the end of her life ? Maybe they were
going to break it for spares â â Thanks for input âcav551â

Think you are right âmichelâ i was just testing to make sure people were paying attention ! You passed,
everyone else failed ! Although having said that i cant tell if it says 88 or 89 on door.
Mind you it does have a 89 air intake on the rear of cab.

Thanks for your comments âDieseldog66â
Think this vehicle may have belonged to a company called Free Foresters possibly from the Forest of Dean ?
Ring any bells with anyone ?
Heres another one !

Not Poole⌠but Fenny Compton on the Banbury to Coventry road, could be my old motor.
