Hi everybody, not sure this is the best forum in the world to share these but it's the forum I'm on and I like it here. Anyway I've taken some photos of dads album of when he was in training and working for BRS & Pickfords in the 1960's. I think he has a pretty good eye and I like the dented, bashed used look of the working lorries back in the day. I won't post them elsewhere but feel free to post links if you are on more suitable forums. Happy to get the old man to answer questions posted on here. If anybody wants to use the photos in any commercial way they need to ask for copyright permission (he will have the negatives). ' glenanderson ' & ' raumer ' thinking you might be able to post links and find interesting. I'll post a few at a time so easier to comment / ask questions. James

Great photos, I love a D Series. Me too. I went out with my dad a few times in one of those when he did casual work for my uncle taking fruit to Covent Garden market.

Just spoke to the old man and the D series had a pair of trailers and was mostly used for heavy stuff going into Vauxhall down the road in Luton. James

Hopefully this meant the correct parcels could be prioritised for delivery. It kind of worked, but somewhat off the today for tomorrow we are now used to ! James
