Martin 'Keeper of the Flame' Phippard recently sent me this shot which rang a bell in the back of my mind as it reminded me of a more recent picture which appeared in Motor Transport . Anyway MP says: "Check out this cleverly posed picture of a Meachers F10 in front of the Royal Princess at Southampton Docks I guess. Photographer was John F. Simons by the way who I guess was the predecessor of Agent Reg! Martin..." Well click through here to see the same picture... But with the odd subtle difference.

Not sure if it's the same boat... Or a newer version? Though it's clearly no longer a Volvo in front of it. Yes Meachers has just bought 12 new Ivecos to cope with the additional work following a contract win with packaging manufacturer Huhtamaki. But the photo's composition is pretty much the same after all these years. Which goes to show if something works once..it's worth trying again!
