Ashley 'The Crane King' Coghill has sent me this heart-warming story: "Hi Brian, out of the embers of Milbank Trucks comes David Watson Transport and now some of the trucks have the new livery applied. David Watson (former MD of Milbank Trucks Ltd) and his team are pleased to announce the purchase of the company formerly known as Milbank Trucks Ltd. The fleet will keep the same colour scheme of red and white that people have come to know but will now carry the new David Watson Transport brand."

And here it is in close-up---nice job too. Ash continues: "As far as I am concerned as a driver, the take-over seemed very smooth (though probably not so for the MD!) and I would like to say a big thank you to Dave Watson for keeping the business going especially over the Christmas period. Over the next few months more of the vehicles will be fully liveried up. Until then, most have the David Watson name written in the headboards. And for all the 'lorry spotters' out there, the fleet numbers and mythological names will remain unchanged." And to prove it click through here...

Great stuff Ash and glad it all ended happily for everyone...
