Re: Classic pictures Updated 23/12/08 with Dick Hamptons
Hi Graham Yes it's nice talking to chaps who've worked on these old firms like Dick Hamptons.There's a retired driver on one of the trucking websites who drove for Hamptons when they had a bonneted Scammell highwayman and a Foden 2 stroke with 4 in line trailers and he says they used to put 38 RB's and Cat D9's on them-talk about axle weight.

Thanks some great photos. My father had AEC, Dodge and Foden at various times so many memories there. The picture of an S reg AEC Mammoth Major must have been close to the demise of AEC.
