Suedehead:
“DEANB”
Anyone know anything about the Scania ■■ Not sure what he’s loaded with and it looks like the curtains have been removed
off the trailer as i cant see them tied back ?

Another great set of pics Dean. That trailer could be carrying poultry maybe ?

I wondered that “Suedehead” but cant see any holes for air ?

Talking of poultry heres one going through Lyndhurst in the New Forest. Used to hate following one of these especially in the
summer as they stunk.

Kempston:
Apologies everyone for the above post. I’ve clearly pressed something I shouldn’t have. I’m not good with technology I’m afraid.

Yes you made a fine effort of that yesterday chap and your reply went on for ever.

coomsey:
“Kempston”]Apologies everyone for the above post. I’ve clearly pressed something I shouldn’t have. I’m not good with technology I’m afraid.
No need to apologise K! That took some serious talent to achieve , I’m well impressed

ERF-NGC-European:
“Kempston”

Nice one Kempston! I’ve taken the liberty of editing it for you. I hope I haven’t left anything out

Thanks for editing Ro.

Thanks Steam. Not sure how many tippers Dennis operated.

kmills:
S&A Produce are strawberry growers, operating a greenhouse complex at Marden, Herefordshire. The Volvo pictured has a Hereford reg. I lived in Marden many years ago- long before S&A were there.

Ironically, S&A also operate the former ‘VHB’ nursery at Waterham, Kent- just down the road from where I also lived in Kent.

During my time driving for Harrier Express in Faversham I loaded tomatoes out of the VHB nursery quite often - I’m sure Rowena would have been in there once or twice aswell.

Cheers all,

Keith

Thanks for the info Keith,what a coincidence you lived in those 2 places.

Nice pic Ro.

tankerian:
“DEANB” Looking at the weather,not the best of days for taking pics.

Anyone recognise the Scania tanker ?

Scania operated by Wincanton on contract to Shell Gas, now Avantigas.

Thanks for the info “tankerian” for the Scania.

Looking at the pic on your profile you drove for Texaco.

They had a depot on Poole docks back in the 70s/80s and used to operate Marathon’s then Roadtrains.

Heres a clipping about some Perkins powered Roadtrains.

Thanks Colin. I remember one of A E Evans’ tankers taking some product into Briggs Dundee from BSC Chemicals Orgreave Sheffield,way back in 1970.It was an AEC MK5 Mammoth Major.

[windrush]

Nynas delivered bitumen to our quarry (Ballidon) along with various other distributors such as Colas from Ellesmere Port and sometimes Culloden Moor depending on what grades were required. We (Tilcon) also collected our own from either Coalville or Four Ashes, when the driver (who had been on powder tanks) first turned up at the Coalville plant they wanted to know if he was on the proper union rate for hazzardous products which of course he wasn’t! He then had to have a pay increase and discovered how liquid tanker drivers could afford luxurious cars and massive houses! I had the chance of driving that tanker but didn’t know how the body tipped!

I remember seeing the earlier model of them in a Australian DVD .Like you say once you have something with a bonnet you are
struggling with length limits.
