anyone remember an agency called Bill Antill freelance drivers in leeds?..I did some HGV work for them in 1975
It is my sad duty to report that…
- Jim Beresford died a couple of months back, I only found out a few days ago. He was well known on the vintage scene.
and 2. A H Green of Malton collapsed on Wednesday. Another 50 years of trucking gone.
Oh yes good old day’s on potacabin’s eh maggieD. Anyone know what dash carter is going know. 
The Biker:
Ronnie Cook etc + lad than lived in Hull and ran Swiss all the time with the F12 cannot remember his name I know he eventually ended up living in Swiss.
Would that be Keith Abba?
Wheelnut Yep thats him could not remember his name thanks - do you know him?
MaggieD:
Hi all,
One for The Biker do you remember Sullivans from Ripon,as well as a haulage fleet they had a Renault Truck dealership.
These Turboliners ran Portakabins from York to Swiss every week.
Regards MaggieD

Yep remember them well they took the work from us at Wilsons when I was working there as the transport manager.
Took some of the drivers as well - the Rustler on here went with Shaun on a run with the cabins.
The Biker:
Wheelnut Yep thats him could not remember his name thanks - do you know him?
Yes, but not been in contact for about 7 years. He used to bring Christmas presents over for his kids, he is still in contact with an old friend, sadly I am not. 
Keith had a spell on chemical and powder tankers and worked for a company local to me.
You never know though, the miracle of TNUK may come into it’s own.
edit, to move a comma.
what about dorluxe of halifax and edward clay of ossett.

I googled them but not much info available but IIRC they were a fairly big firm.
