Marky didnt they once have a highline cab F10 with a L10 ■■■■■■■ in it I am sur I remember reading about it onceI think you’re right Ken - I’m sure I read something similar in Commercial Motor. Was it Bass or Scottish & Newcastle?
It was Bass - Mr Roger Denniss and the Brewery Transpor Advisory Committee. It was lightened too, even down to having a Bedford CF seat for he occasional passenger

I spotted the yellow peril and had to say summat - IIRC, that was the one and only insuliner that FM acquired. It ran out of Dover and spent most of its life in France (I think it was for a fruit job in the south.) Obv its one of Les Knights in the pic but it spent most of its earlier life behind one of the LHD Iveco 6 wheelers driven by a nice chap who lived down Dover way but think he was from Manchester. Another piece of useless info as regards this Boallloy trailer, again IIRC it was the only trailer that FM had in the fleet with white curtains (its reefer application.) I put my mark on it when, after tipping a load up in the NW, the driver was sent to Rubery Owen in Wrexham for a load of axles back to France, except when the trailer was built, because of its food spec, they hadn’t put any ropehooks on it. Hence me and the portable welder added some!

Hi coca cola kid, the FG Foden and the Albion were photographed at Murton tractor rally at the live stock centre at York. The Foden is driven by Malcolm Slater and the Albion was owned by Stan Houseman from Melborne near York. I think that the photo will date from the late 80s. I don’t know much about the Albion other than it had living accommodation in the back of it. The Foden is ex Marley tiles and later passed into the ownership of Liam Quinn an owner driver from York whos father drove a similar Foden for NMU at York duriong the 60s. Regards Tony H.
Hi Tony, Thanks for the info, they was taken by a tractor enthusiast who would have been there as an exhibitor I’m sure. Cheers Mel
Keeping with the B.E.T Theme on they way back from Holland, Dad drove for them and the Kids loved to see them and shout Hello Grandad. Pics taken just outside Ostende on the way to catch the ferry home. Oh bye the way the little lad is now 6 ft 2in tall

Hi again,good pics coming in lads…well done. 
,heres some more of my pics then. 
One of my favorite shots,this 2800 of Dave Dicksons is well turned out with a Trailor spreadaxle tilt trailer behind it.
Southern Mechanical Handlings KW seen on Leigh Delamere services,this one ended up being stretched and became a wrecker…more useless info 
A missed Welsh haulier,this 95 DAF of Hills heads home to Cardiff on the M4.
One from the North-East now,Elldis Transports Ivyco-co heads west on the M4…dont see many Eurotechs these days,the ones I drove seemed to shake themselves to pieces.
Another one thats no more,swallowed up by Nobhead Donkeystrangler a few years ago.
I took this one earlier this year,a cracking motor which was specially posed for a pic.
Cheers Bubbs,
