ERF Patrol wagon, watching Motorway Cops on TV a while back, ex HGV driver and now Police Patrol car officer Angus Nairn at times drives an unmarked Scania tractor unit, he works the M5 and gets a lot of credit from Brit HGV drivers for nailing overloaded, overhours and faulty wagons from the continent.

A couple of TDG on contract to Dorman Long Steel, what I remember most about the Transport Development Group back in the early 60s was the swallowing up of some fine haulage companies in Scotland (and elsewhere) these firms later just died away.

That looks like the “OLD Fold” pub onthe Felling Bypass now demolished, next to Gateshead Stadium.

I remember my Father telling me when he drove for Anthony Mole they also done a lot of work on the new Felling Bypass and after one hot day they parked all the motors up outside the new Old Fold which had just opened and got the first pint free, many more followed after that no doubt! Strange to think in pub terms it wasn’t that old from being built to being pulled down. Franky.
