Hi Dave,
Nice article from Reg Howitt. As I recall, I was on 'lorry duty' for a couple of weeks. To start the lorry one had to use the crank handle. Being rather a small chap I found starting the truck pretty scary. If you didn't crank it correctly, it would 'kick back' and could break your thumb, so Mr Whitbread had to start it. Regards Reg

Alan , your Canadian cousin Peter called me to tell me the miserable news that you have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
What with all of the other setbacks you have successfully overcome in life, treat this as just another one.
Don't be discouraged, we have had two friends who had advanced pancreatic cancer and although they both went down hill at first, they both overcame the disease and made a full recovery.
All the best.
Reg and Donna

Hello Dave
Thanks for the Albion picture back + you done a great job enlarging from the little photo. It seems strange I arrived from Stepney in that lorry never dreaming I would learn to drive it one day.It stood me in good stead when I left dickes as I was sent to work for a shoe maker in hugging Hill near St Paul`s. Which is no longer there.I then got a job making army stretchers in Edmonton with a firm called Doherty, when one day the delivery driver was off sick & they were stuck.So I said I can drive Sir, which made the three brothers look at me in disbelief.So the chauffeur took me round the block said I was ok & off I went after he said do you know London. Yes Sir I replied only knowing how to get the Trollyybus to Liverpool St. Having delivered the various goods one of the brothers made me his chauffeur till I went in the army. I drove lorry`s Jeeps Bren gun carriers & finished Up driving the CO about on maneuvers Till I went to Korea. So the old Albion played a big part in my life to driving heavy goods when I came out of the army + psv license on coaches to taking antique furniture to Spain Here endith a small part of my life .
Thanks again for the pic
