Brings back memories. Long time ago thou.
This is currently appearing on the Scrapbook Memories and Scammell Crusader threads. Being as it’s a Peterborough Haulier, it gets another outing!
Barry J. White came from somewhere in the area, although I can’t remember exactly where. I wonder if there was any connection with Cyril White?
This Seddon Atkinson was driven by Graham Wakefield, who i’d previously worked with at Reads of Peterborough, and it’s seen here, parked-up by
the Dogsthorpe brickworks.
Barry White was Cyril A white youngest son who first drove the volvo 86 for his dad then I took it over when he set up on his own wiyh a seddon four wheel rigid and later bought a neww commer commander rigid and then a volvo F88 which I drove for a few weeks before joining P.H.H. Barry is seen on here driving his fathers mickey mouse Foden
Thanks for that greyknight. Often wondered if there was a connection, and you’ve answered it perfectly.
Don’t know if it’s my imagination, but the Commando rings a bell. Any pics?

Just as I was starting to think that this thread might dissappear, Bubbs comes up with another picture.
This time, it’s Mick Thomas. The paint scheme was the same as Ken Thomas.

An ex Mick Thomas B Series in use as a shunter at Wilcox Bodies in 1998.
I’ve been trawling through some of the other threads on TN and found this Foden, belonging to Deeping Direct Deliveries.
Another one here, this time Thorys. They run a smart fleet of vehicles, primarily tippers.

The colour scheme was red and black.
