Mega video of the fishing business back in the day. Awesome and cheers for sharing this with us. A comradeship among drivers no matter who they drove for.
In the early 1960’s I used to go with my Dad from Buckie to Hull or Grimsby with fish. He drove for Taylor’s Transport of Buckie. Exactly as I remember it 🚚🚚
When I was young, my Dad ran fish. Drove for Croan, Carney and Gibb, Payton, David Dow, Charles Alexander, and Saddlers. Drove from when he was 16 till he was 48. Then we came to Canada. I’ve been driving here since 76. Oh, I forgot BRS.
You have to make this video on a higher clarity, @240p, it's not clear enough for me. I'm not being arrogant, just saying I can't see it or read it. Maybe if enough people complain you might believe me. Thank you
Hello from Ireland lovely film are Charles Alexander still operating those drivers really knew their jobs what makes of trucks did they have was it a big fleet
As a Forfar lad who then lived in Perth (only in my 30s so this is all long before me), it's fascinating to see the old Angus and Strathmore roads before the motorways came. Any idea what year this was made?
Thank you so much . I was the trade union rep for the garage guys when the company folded . If it wasn't for mis management the company would have still been going . Management at the time said the only future was to haul fish and paper . The oil industry was short term and wouldn't last !!!
+Carl Napp Hi ,when i initial uploaded the film for some reason the ending didn't come out ,So I uploaded it again with the ending and called it part two .Cheers.
donald j leslie thank you but what you’re saying is that the in-line pump would give a little more power but at the expense of some economy and vice versa with a rotary pump?
My dad drove for Croan’s, and Alexander’s out of Leith, and Granton. I’d spend part of my summers with him on the fish run. I live in Canada now. Been driving HGV since 76.

Thank you so much .. These guys should never be forgotten .. Many lost their lives ... Just doing their jobs ..
What a lovely old film, many thanks for posting.
worked at rodgers walk in the late 50s , remember some of the lads in the film
Nice to see the Thrift, my uncle's boat. Blyth to Aberdeen with Copy coal, very slowly!
I remember that crossing in Coupar Angus, the last link of the old line between Perth and Forfar which survived into the early eighties
Fantastic,love it.
nowadays be in Manchester same day. Going into a 15 hour on taco. but just do it
Not a lot of traffic on the roads in Scotland in those days.
couldnt imagine loading fish under a sheet now a days and it been accepted at the delivery point even if its only 5 minutes down the road
Health And Safety has spoiled all the fun !!!

Nice old video but I doubt a Rotary pump is any more efficient than an in-line pump
Maybe at the time
donald j leslie thank you but what you’re saying is that the in-line pump would give a little more power but at the expense of some economy and vice versa with a rotary pump?
where did i comment on pumps@@jackhewitt7902
