Hi ianto,
I remembered that chap from Dolfor with the ERF you bought,it was J P Ruff,as I said atkidave will correct me if I got it wrong,but am absolutely sure thats his name. He packed up about ten years ago.
Cheers Dave.
the fitter in the bowketts piccy is a young phil wood from ullingswick real nice chap but as hard as nails
now working for a relative j stevens who owns the jcb plant hire company bartestree withington area of herefordshire
Saw these two on the A438 below Garnons Castle in Herefordshire,not big lorries,but still the pride and joy of their drivers.

Hi John,
Yes I know they now belonged to ND,thought perhaps they were still running under the old banner,but from what you say, not so.
Cheers Dave.

The FL10 was bought by Sun Valley ex John Raymond D585LKG never normally buying second hand but it got busy, remember them days?

Hi Fin,
I know a few ex Sun Valley feed drivers who now have their own moters, Mark Preedy and Phil Preece,to name a couple,they seemed to keep busy,don’t know how they are weathering the work situation at the moment,as I haven’t seen them for a few months.
Cheers Dave.
Hi Dave
Spoke to Mark about a month ago hed only done a couple days the one week quite quiet i think and Phils still got his lorry runnin with a driver on it ,think Phils drivin 4 Wye Valley Metals .
Cheer`s Fin
Hi Fin,
Thought it could be quiet for those blokes,used to see them at the snack van at Letton if they were on their way up to the Gore to load. I suppose the best job to keep the lorries busy,is on the bulk blowing to the Chicken Houses like Mick Gwynn and Dave Miles are on.
Cheers Dave.
Yeh good job Dave, some dont like it cos of shifts, Me,Mick & Dave used to be on the same shifts back in the days of the Valley,tell you some stories in that layin that lay by at letton one of these day`s Dave
