kenfig bill:
Really excellent South Wales stuff …thanks DEAN …that Entrees F86 loaded with carbon black tote bins is a gem …My father tells me they were up and down that stretch of the M50 for the Firestone tyre plant at Wolverhampton …another gem is F86 6 wheeler with a coil of Fred Bouldry …he had some very early F86 units …can just remember R J Browns Transcon …Geraint .

“kenfig bill” You liked the Entrees Volvo’s, how about the DAF’s Geraint ! :wink:

The “team Mona Liza” is a gas engined Unimog 4x4 , a Mercedes branch built in Gaggenau not far from their main factory in Worth.

Albion Clydesdale ■■

Albion Reiver

Just for Dean’s info, further to Gingerfold’s correction, the nominally 7-ton 2-axle was the Chieftain, powered usually by Albion’s own 4-pot Diesel. The max. weight 2-axle was the Clydesdale, with Leyland’s 350 motor. The same engine powered the 3-axle job, the Reiver and the 4-axle was the Caledonian, using a Leyland 600 or 680. All fitted as standard with the superb Albion 6-speed overdrive constant-mesh gearbox.
I’ve git the tin hat on, waiting for someone with a brain to correct me. :unamused: :laughing: :laughing:

Ernie had a good few Mandators before these - good man sadly no longer with us AFAIK

ROF was probably lying “doggo” in the back of the trailer trying to do “a runner” out of the Forrest ! Now those Read lads weren’t no mugs ! as that Borderer defo doesn’t have the poxy Group axle by the look of the shot ! Neither would any of mine but at times beggars couldn’t be choosers unfortunately :cry: Cheers Bewick.

Click page twice to read.

Bulwarks became part of the United Transport group along with the likes of Hoggs of Kilsyth/Stamps /Ancliff all of which became part of the B.E.T group.
British Electric Traction Company Limited, renamed BET plc in 1985, was a large British industrial conglomerate but this was acquired by Rentokil in 1996, and the merged company is now known as Rentokil Initial.In 1956 BET acquired a 20% interest in United Transport Company increased to 100% in 1971. United Transport continued with its freight road haulage business (Bulwark Transport Ltd), and also moved into shipping, particularly containers and tank containers.
