Those were the days my friend…

Hitch-hikers

Many thanks to Roger Gilbert for sending us this picture which shows his parents alighting from one of our trucks at Bicton in April 1959.For the record the vehicle is a Leyand Beaver.

As Roger observes, picking up hitch hikers is pretty much forbidden these days by fleet operators but that doesn’t stop many of us remembering fondly the miles we travelled for free that way.

Those were the days!
