On the Move Desk Calendar

On the Move Desk Calendar Overview

Iconic vehicles from the history of road haulage are authentically recreated in the On The Move desk calendar by knowledgeable artists Alan Spillett and Mike Jeffries. In the beautifully detailed paintings lorries are shown delivering their loads in various landscape backgrounds in all kinds of weather, with some interesting background notes.

In one painting a 1930s 5.7 litre diesel Leyland Beaver with a dropside body, negotiates a wet, twisty lane in winter. Bird Brothers of Yeovil, founded in 1919 utilising horses, had a diverse business, which included running charabancs to West Country resorts, and quarrying. A 1959 Commer TS3 is shown in another picture entitled ‘Becks Lowloader’. It was one of three owned by Becks and its approach would have been heralded by the raucous sound emitted from its two front-mounted exhausts. With a 12-ton payload the unit is pictured at a pre-motorway refreshment stop. This colourful and practical desk calendar will also appeal to modern day road hauliers, vintage transport enthusiasts and nostalgia lovers everywhere
