Hi Goaty
Yes I was on the Ford contract at Harwich, who was your dad? I must know him as I knew a lot of the Ipswich lads having worked with some in other firms, and doing the Volvo ferry from Harwich to Ipswich. As matter of fact, I was with two on Saturday at a old mates 60th birthday, they were Wayne Williams and Wally Haylock.
I have a nice photo of a Maggie Deutz, reg no FKV 960T, I will try to find it and post it on here.
My first job was at Cartransport Queenborough where i worked in the yard. I also had dealings with Sheertrucks & MCD also at Queenborough.

Pete Oldknow, I know the name but couldn’t put a face to it, Harry French sounds right, because I worked with a young Harry French his Son at HEP sections too, so your Brother must have known him, I used to go swiming at the Bridge Hotel, well Ryton Baths next to it, Joe Lomas, was another, worked with Joe on and off over the years, Johnny Frankton who later worked in the yard at Tolemans at the Griff and his son Robert.
hi does anyone have a old pic of the first maggie deutz wagon and drags, my dad used to work for tolemans hauling volkswagons and then peugots out of grimsby, his wagon used to be FKV 945T and was fleet number 083, i am trying to build a scale model of it and am stuck on finding any details, my dads name was mick askwith , all i can remember is that the wagon had the fixed top deck, any help on this would be greatly welcome.
I used to drive a Maggie on the Italy run but it was not something you’d want to keep a picture of. It died a natural death somewhere in Island Row- much to everyone’s relief.
just a long shot, but does anyone have any photos of the old hoyner mk7 trailers that toleman used to use, ive seen the one on here with the volvo but need some more. im attempting to scratch build a model of one but seem to be drawing a blank as regards any info, any help would be gratefully received.
