Some nice old Albions there werkhorse, the one carting cars would be a FT101 Cyldesdale with 4 cylinder Albion EN286, or EN287 motor, although I think there was also a PF101 model with Leyland 350. The bogged one is a much bigger HD53 model with 6 cylinder Albion EN253 motor. The white AEC going through the water would probably be a GM4R type Monarch with AV410 or AV470 motor with Hastings Deering cab. Great photos, thanks for putting them up.

I just can't get enough of these old pics, I reckon they are simply fantastic.
Ray's first book was a better read, in my humble opinion.. Well written and very funny, he must be a real character. I've loaned it to everyone, even my mum thought it was great!
The second was also good, but I guess it seemed a little more superficial?
But still a great read, well worth buying.
Thanks for the pics, keep finding them will you?
cheers
Richard
