I don’t know either but when Sykes closed the garage and contracted it out to Volvo and DAF one of the fitters went to drive for them a young blonde haired lad and I can’t recall his name but he was a good lad and will be in his 50s now as he was 10 to 15 years younger than me so they would be west Yorkshire or had a yard there.
cheers Johnnie

Samas closed down about 1996 I think

Mel Carr drove for them before coming back to Norman Lewis Lankers

Hi Folks,
Oldish company just started fuel deliveries around this area.

Cheers Malc.

Taken Avonmouth Truck Stop early 90s.

Might bring back memories for someone!

I used to work for R RANKIN of BLAYDON I was on the ICI-BURMAH petrol contract; then it changed to P&O. After 5 years the contract went to LINFOX. Then after another 5 years it went back to P&O. LINFOX still had the FINA job but once that ended they vanished, don’t know what happened to these firms but I am still on fuel tankers 35years on.

I will try to download photos of a couple of tankers I drove back in the 1970s with GLOBE PETROLEUM. I was based at Grangemouth in Scotland and still run out of ross chemicals (nustar).

I have also posted a photo of the tanker my son drives for ■■■■■■ PACIFIC in New Zealand.

Not British I know, but a lot of us have driven for Dutch firms, someone might like a look! Thats my Air Products tanker in the background, photo taken outside Sheerness Steel Works where I had just delivered a load of Liquid Oxygen on a Sunday in the early 90s.

Another “Cloggy”, anyone know 'em? Taken Avonmouth early 90s.

I used to occasionally collect Damco dry bulk boxes from Immingham. I presume it is the same company, they were loaded with PET or Polypropylene pellets
