regards andrew.

Thanks for the Watkins pics chaps, those 8 leggers were man killers, but one of the regular drivers was rewarded with that F86, what happened to it?

Hi andrew and deecee, that F86 was very unreliable according to one of its drivers … several problems and Watkins vowed not to buy another !! . I belive it may have ended its days as a shunter at either the Whitehead , or GKN tremorfa …, i note that the former garage still proclaims J M Watkins Westgate garage … deecee, by any chance do you remember the Scammells Watkins ran ? … i did not see them myself … Geraint .

Cool cls photo Dai.another of s.protheroe,outside the port talbot depot.anyone know who that is?
