Talking of Tony,here’s the one before G888KNT…plus another at a local truck show (who’s is the other Volvo ?)
Ah, thats Ian Slaters old FL10 (E 481 WUX) next to F770 DNT which used to be driven by Norbie.
& if Im not mistaken the guy being jumped on is Jacko!
here we go one of my old man on the M40 job
ady bland and roland ward at potton sands
Ady Bland and Roland Ward at Welford sand pit these day,s the A14 go,s through the middle of it
brian partners old erf he bought from the late bob manchester parked near the stock pile old cliffe hill
alan ‘‘jody’’ wardle’s brand new leyland freighter with steel insulated body the only one at old cliffe hill . my dad’s constructor expired when hit the back of this on the old uppingham bypass
Another batch of khaki’s!
The first one was taken at Bakewell Goods station (or what used to be) in Nov 84. Guess it was an o/d.
This one was taken by myself at Cauldon Low back in August; not a tipper but worthy of inclusion due to the ‘khakiness’ which in this day and age is a rarity! (Even if it is an internal vehicle!)
awesome kelvin! i’ve still got everything crossed for my dads leyland to show up!
hey, you guys have upped the game a bit tonight !! A khaki one for kelv…Sorry its in B&W !
love that photo andy.
i wish it was the early 80’s and i was a driver out of old cliffe hill!
Great pic TARMAC! Reckon the colour scheme was still black in them days and they just stuck the new logo on the front; but that’s just me splitting hairs! Sorry!
More khaki’s to come as and when!
(Personally think we should stick this topic as khaki coloured Tarmac vehicles and have another with the modern colour scheme!)
Another random one…Tarmac’s HGV Training Vehicle, at the Wolverhampton Carnival…early 70’s.
That’s a belter mate!
You with me on the khaki aspect?
that sounds good bonky!
Here you are boys a khaki one from me at last
Two of the late Andy Darrington’s Fodens taken at the relatively short-lived Brampton pit.
The A14 up to Spittals now runs right by and over some of it.
Cheers

Sorry bud but this topic from here onin is dedicated to the ‘khaki’ cause. Plenty of other threads to drop tipper pics in.
Maybe a mod could change the thread title to ‘(khaki) Tarmac tippers’ ?

Thanx for IDing this one, this picture came second in Tarmac’s recent Intranet (for staff) Nostalgia Competition, where employees were asked to submit pictures from the companies past…(No, prizes for guessing who won !!)

I think it should be open to all Tarmac Tippers (I’ll post some black ones soon !), as it keeps the tread alive and brings in alot of variety, and keeps it on the front of Trucknet, its come along alot in the last few months by doing this …
