Wow mike - great photos. A real blast from the past!!! Forgot avout the F12 until i saw it there, that was the shunter the old man took to insford isnt it? No tax if i remember correctly…lol! got anymore?
Is that me in the passenger seat of B188!!!
Here are a few photos I have found from many years back that I thought i’d share with you. The first two are of a P Reg Scania in the white livery of Ponsonby Logistics. Both of these were taken at the Freight Area at Brussells Airport in 98/99.
These are photos of John Norris and Nigel Chambers around 88/89. Note the front offices were still being built at that time…i’m sure Mike P will be able to fill in the date it was finally constructed.
These were taken at Truckfest '94. L7 DJP is the one I drive from new and was the only one on the fleet that had red writing on the Air Deflectors… the good old Wendy House!! the other are L10 DJP and L12 DJP
These are of E332 MHA, i drive this from new. This is taken around 1987 parked up off the Tyburn Road in Birmingham.
A couple more from truckfest '94. that is all for now - I will keep an eye out for some more through all the boxes I have. Please keep posting some more if you find any. it brings back alot of memories.
Another Wendy House…

i had that one when i started mike
i went in on my first day
was told a 9am start, so when i got to witton road, the only motor left up the yard was this one, so i knew it was bound to be mine
and when i jumped in it, i was surprised at how well it was looked after,
I then went onto one of those irish motors for a few weeks, then i had one of the ne 95 that come.
i enjoyed my time there, and was sad when it ended, met some good guys working there, that took alot of pride in their trucks and how they worked
