Hello again,great feedback lads…nice shot of AWF434B erfguy and thanks to tanktrotter for its history after it leaving TEPs…he mentioned the TV series TRUCKERS,the first shot may be of interest to fans of the programme.Again good pics from Paul…the J.E.Clark Merc was driven by Rodney Mingo (RIP) looks like he’s sat in the passenger seat.Harry…sorry you’ve lost your old mate,Terrys gone to the great transport cafe in the sky
Rodney would polish anything if it stood still for a minute,he used to work with my old man for Trent Wharfage in Sharpness
OK,Here we go.
Not long after the TRUCKERS series ended I came across this Merc cab next to a railway line in Shropshire,I’ve no idea why it was there but O’Brady were one of the ficticious companies featured in the show.
Heres one for Pete359,looking well after climbing Shap…the Bubblemobile is behind
Bit of an odd trailer on the back of this old girl.
Also seen at the top of Shap
Kev Dennis seen at the BP TruckstopHope these are of interest
Cheers Bubbs,

ATX 1J, The guy who drove it from new was tommy jackson.Hello again Dai,
Here she is again at Winferton going north with a load of - “ends” from Metal Box . It was very unusual
there was only single wheels on rear axle. It was a Gardner 240. I remember Tommy Jackson — was he from the Leintwardine area ?.

Hi Hywel,There was a driver from Leintwardine called ?Jackson who was killed in a lorry accident many years ago.Ironically his son Les Jackson also a lorry driver from Knighton was killed by a bee sting in the early 1990’s.
A chap from Bucknell John Davies drove for Gwynne Bowen for many years,he parked the lorry by the side of the Knighton to Leinwardine road.
Cheers Dave.
