A Mr Hawkings who was a neighbour also used to drive them before he moved to Boston. I remember going with my dad on runs and that we had cold bacon sandwichies for our pack up. Later they changed the lorries to bigger newer ones. I remember Butlins having the same lorries too. The engine was between the driver and passenger so was quiet noisey in the cab. I was speaking to Harold Fainlight who part owned the factory then, about why he shut the factory down. He told me that due to the fuel going up I think because of the Suez crisis the cost of getting crisps around the country out of Skegness was becoming less profitable as was too far to get to anywhere causing spiraling fuel costs to the company. But they were the best tasting crisps I have tasted as dad used to bring loads home. They used to deliver them in square box type tins to the retailers.
