My uncle drove an AEC Mammoth Major owned by Hackbridge Cables in Surrey! What a fantastic wagon! I used to climb up as a kid in total bliss! Magical video this!
I may have lived in Oz for many years, but there are so many sights (that T45 @5:10 for example) and sounds (the F10, the Plaxton Volvo B10M, the Scania 111 and 143, various TK's and TL's and the D-series, even the SK-cab Merc) that trigger so many memories. I may not be ancient, but I'm old enough to know what a Gardner sounds like. Thanks, from the arse end of the planet.
This is a great video.Although I wasn't at the Birch services end I was in Harrogate and watched arrivals on the Stray before going round the assembled vehicles PS I spoke to the owner of the Vulcan lorry seen at 0:49 while in Harrogate.I thought he was a really nice chap.I told him about the Vulcan lorries my great grandfather owned in the 1930s
Those three coaches are nice at 1:00, a Volvo and a Leyland Tiger/Plaxton Supreme and Volvo/Duple Laser. Or was it Duple Caribbean? One of the two. And the ERF following them sounded fantastic!
I noticed at least one tractor unit with the 5th wheel covered (not the ballast tractors). Would this mean a driver with a relevant car licence as less that 7.5t gross?
From the U.S.A., what a great dis- play of vehicles!! Thanks for this smorgasbord of past history, of British trucking!!!

That was a real treat for an old truck driver. I even think I spotted a military Swiss Saurer near the end.

Very enjoyable half hour. Thanks!
That's it for me at 24:13 my dad taught me to drive in a borderer on waste ground on what used to be STAVELEY CHEMICLES I'm almost in tears.
I never knew there was so many old old trucks still out there like the Bedford trucks and all of them have been looked after ever so well
My grandad is Miles Fox and he really appreciates these videos
British_A4_126MPH long time ago but 170 mph, Ferrari from Maranello concessionaires.

EFD 923Y was a Duple Laser. It originally belonged to Masons Pathfinder Tours, a firm I have known for well over 50 years, based in Willenhall.
Superb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely bit of JAKE going off at 28:31.
