Bubbs, That 143 of Hammonds was an owner driver - From Wales if I remember correctly They would always load him for the west country or Wales,
Just my contribution for another bit of useless information, Eh

Hello again,nice pics Lawrence…well done mate.Ramone…didnt have a shot of your motor but got this first pic which was her sister.

Sister to the one I put on yesterday and Ramones P112,seen at a Truckfest,dont think Elliots are around anymore.

Staying with Scanias,This one of Alfords is seen northbound on the M5.

Same location as the last one but the other way,a crappy day sees this DAF 2800 of Kettlewells heading south.

M4 for this Transcon from Portsmouth.

Hammonds 143 heads home to Kent for another load of plasterboard…poxy stuff!!

Heres one of one our friends from the South Wales threads motors heading home empty on the M4.

Cheers Bubbs,

Hi again,heres todays stuff.

This Crusader is seen on Aust services on the old Severn bridge,this one I believe was another of the cancelled export order that were snapped up at a reasonable price.

Heres a familiar livery we dont see any more,this Dairy Crest(MMB) ERF heads west on the M4.

This DAF 3300 is eastbound on the M4,operated by Robsons from Bermondsey(I fink)

M5 for this old Foden 8 wheeler of W&J Rigby from Wigan.

Tony Morgans 142 seen with a concrete section probably from Costains at Bridgend(Andy,Pete 359 will correct me if I’m wrong)

Another Scania,this time a 112 of Paulton Transport seen on the M4.

Cheers Bubbs,

as always great pics mate, did you have a tent on the M4 bridge this has been the most interesting thread for me anyway keep up the good work the good work mate fredm

bubbleman · 1 November 2011 13:34

Thanks for your comments Fredm,I’ve photgraphed from that bridge for about 30 years,the trees are growing out now and getting into the shot,I “broke down” one morning at 2am and used the lorry to shield me from prying eyes while I set to with a saw to some branches …got cut to bits on the brambles,but my trimming worked .
These days the bridge is for people on foot but several times when cars were allowed on it I nearly got hit running to the other side for a shot…I cant run these days
Cheers Bubbs,
