My nephew Joshua sent me this picture from his recent visit to Duxford. He thought that as i like trucks and i like Spitfires then this could be the ideal job for me, especially as it’s a Scania on the Front! He might not be far wrong, i’ll have to try and get a go in that simulator.

Ex Astran Scania 143
This old beauty was spotted in the M/E by Astran boss Kevin Letham on a previous trip. You can see the old english plate still under the bumper, it was a “G” reg but does any one know any other history of the truck?? Email me at ben@truckblog.co.uk

W100 HCW Caught napping in Cyprus!
How bizarre things can be. Friday last week the boss GW received an email from a concerned/informative member of the Great British Pulic. Mr T Seward fro Durham was enjoying his holiday in Cyrus when he came across said truck parked up for the weekend in Limassol. The mail read, Mr Seaward was concerned our truck may have been stolen or sold and still be in our colours or indeed we may still be lookinmg for it. If only all members of the Briitish public were so helpfull. Here is Mr Seawards photo, no sign of the driver, i dare say he was off some where with a beer in his hand!

Old Timer Looks Like New
After some TLC for the last couple of months Wilsons trusty 141 starts on the show circuit. First stop being the Crowfield Truck Rally at Ipswich over the bank holiday weekend just gone. Next its off to some where south of Paris for a French oldtimer show. The only way it will get out to France will be with a load on of some sort. In the yard last week she was hooked up to Wilsons one and only curtainsider and i have to say it didn’t look out of place at all. Very smart. Not sure what it will go to France with but it wouldn’t look to bad as this set up.

Name That Film??!!
What classic 70’s truck based film down a dusty old back road being chased by the old bill, does this modern scene remind you of???? Answers on a postcard or better still comments!
