Hi Dean. Gary Talbot driving his new lorry subbing for Waters.I have shown him Pauls pic.,and he was well chuffed. He went back onto their own work the oil job and steel after a while,but when they finally called it a day he drove for Waters until he retired. He is finding some pics.,of their AECs and the ERFs and I will put them on,he isn’t computer wise. :frowning: Thanks again for a great site. Mike

@ Dean Crusader vs DAF

I am sorry to post this late but what a cracking read and surprising result.

Many thanks for sharing - can’t wait to get mine finished and give it some beans up the Brenner pass.

Working on my “will breakdance for diesel” sign for the shopping centre when I get some time off work.

Cheers all

Dean that picture of Morfair Haulage brings back memories they had a little yard just off the Tesco roundabout J8 M27 and did a lot of strawberries to markets in the season, mostly four wheelers IIRC and when you drove past you could guess the cargo as the smell gave it away, Buzzer

Cormar Bedford.JPGStill family owned Comar Carpets factory is just up the road from me at Brookhouse Mill, Holcombe Road, Greenmount,

For over 60 years they been making carpets at two mills Brookhouse Mill, in Greenmount and Holme Mill in Ramsbottom. (Click image for wide screen version)

In January 2018 they opened a brand new £15million southern Regional Distribution centre at Hemel Hempstead.

Cormar Carpets Greenmount.jpgToday they run a virtual all DAF fleet consisting of four wheelers, draw-bars and artics.

In March last year they ordered 8 new CF75s with specialist draw-bar chassis to cover the “trunking” of trailers with loaded boxes.

Buzzer:

Strickly speaking PR is a Dorset reg, Bournemouth was EL, RU & LJ, but as said very likely E,F,Phillips.
