Nearest I could find to Mikes trailer ! I just bet that when the Ponsonsby driver pulled his sheets off in Soho at his drop he would have a right battle to wrap them up proper like Probably did as I would have done,just “happed” them up roped them on then do them properly somewhere he could spread them out.As long as he didn’t turn up back at the yard with them in a state eh!Cheers Dennis.

Now then Jackdaw i have had a word with Mr Ponsonby and here is the result,i hope it meets with your approval

11/10 for that effort,if I didn’t know different I’d could swear that a Bewick shunter had sheeted and roped that Ponsonby trailer ! I wonder how many of to-days “curtain pullers” could “turn” a flat out like that and I bet judging by the quality of the work it hadn’t taken the Ponsonby lad too long to do the job so he wouldn’t have been that far behind,he would have caught the “curtain puller” up at the next cafe !! No danger ! Cheers Dennis.

My thoughts also Bewick, A perfect example of what the old drivers were taught to doe, Regards Larry.

Aye Larry it brings tears to the eyes now when you see a fine sheeting and roping job,there’s probably 42 years between this shot of the Bewick trailer and the Ponsonby trailer.Modesty prevents me from divulging who sheeted this 34ft trailer these poly covered main sheets wern’t a success and were only a trial,I’d bought them for about half price only used a couple of times by an owner driver from Milnthorpe who’s main traffic was Cape boards from Uxbridge to Scotland and Marionite south from Glasgow to London.

Hiya,
Once did a dayshift changeover at Hull BRS depot from Consett BRS depot,
dropped a loaded trailer picked up a loaded trailer, the trailer I picked up
was adorned with a brand new flysheet a bright fluorescent orange thing I
only got out of Hull and at the first layby put my own green flysheet which
I always carried on the back of the unit the bleedin’ orange thing was so
bright it was affecting my eyes from it’s reflection in the mirror.
thanks harry, long retired.
