Wally Carruthers, a well-known Canadian supplier and rental operator and prominent figure in the Ontario Canadian Rental Association, passed away on Nov. 15 at the age of 89. Carruthers was perhaps best known as a representative for Kango power tools. He was predeceased by his wife, Audrey Mae.
Carruthers was recognized in August 2011 Canadian Rental Service as one of ten industry influencers. Here is the 2011 item:
Company: Carruthers Rental, Kango
Location: Barrie, Ont. Years in rental: 40
Sectors served: Construction, DIY, lawn and garden
“Most people are in sales first, then go into business. I was a businessman first, then I went into sales.” According to Wally Carruthers, that was the secret of his success as a supplier of power tools and accessories to the Ontario rental industry. That, all the many friends he made both on the road and in his long involvement with the Ontario C.R.A. “Joining the R.A.C. was the most important business decision I ever made,” he says.
Even in an industry full of entertaining personalities, Carruthers stands out. Whenever he tells a story about someone with a foreign accent, he imitates the accent perfectly. In a one-hour conversation with Canadian Rental Service, he did Newfie, Irish, Scottish, British and Swedish and nailed them all. He has dozens of funny and unusual stories from the industry, most of which he was directly involved with. One of his friends made up $50 bills with Carruthers’ face on them, and he got a laugh wherever he went handing those out.
The most valuable thing Carruthers has taken away from his time in the rental business is a long list of friends he remembers fondly. The late Danny Cameron of Atlantic Rentals was one of his special favourites, and he enjoys telling the story of the Alberta regional show where Casey Jones hired a train to take attend-ees to see the glacier in Jasper, and Cameron woke everyone up at 6 a.m. playing the bagpipes. “There was a piano on board and lots of singing,” Carruthers remembers, “which was great for me because I was in a barbershop group.”
Carruthers collaborated with Peter Watkins, the founder of Canadian Rental Service, to launch the first Canadian Rental Mart. “He stopped by my house on his way to the cottage,” Carruthers remembers, “and started asking me if I thought the Rental Mart would be a good idea. I liked it and took it to the board [of the Ontario CRA]. They didn’t like it much at first, but we put it to a vote and it got passed.”

What is a Mason? A. F. & A. M.
A Mason is a man and a
Brother who is Square in all
That he Compasses: he has a "Rite"
understanding and a firm Grip.
therefore he has no complaints to
Lodge against life: by being a loyal
Apprentice to duty, he becomes
Master of himself and others, and
thus whatever the Degree, he full-
fills an honourable career from
his first "Installation" into the "Order"
of humanity, until he receives
the final password.
A Masonic Service was held on Saturday December 3, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. The Masonic Brethren assembled at 10:30 a.m. at St. Andrews Church, 47 Owen Street, Barrie, ON in their Business suit and their Regalia.

A mystery this one. Bedford YMP Plaxton Paramount 3200 C431 RJR was found on an industrial estate in either King's Lynn or Dereham with Crusader Coaches names. The livery belongs to TM Travel and it is known to have spent two years with operators on Merseyside, one of which traded as Crusader but there was a further owner change at the start of 2005 tying in with this view in May of that year so who had it when I saw it in Norfolk? What I do know is that it was new to Marton, Heathrow, as C809 TLF.

Back from leave. Johnny Ball was killed the night I went on leave. I was standing by to fly in the machine they crashed in on the previous day. I did my inspection of the radio gear leaving my flying helmet plugged in as I expected to fly in the machine later in the day. In the event the call to action didn’t come in the morning and my crew were due for leave from 1200 hrs that day whereupon P.O Stapledon took over the aircraft with Johnny Ball his gunner.

From Wikipedia -
Hyster is an American manufacturing company specializing in forklifts and other materials-handling equipment. Hyster was founded in 1929 as the Willamette-Ersted Company in Portland, Oregon. The company was purchased in 1989 by NACCO Industries, Inc. and became a part of NACCO Materials Handling Group (NMHG) which continues to market products under the Hyster brand name today.
The name "Hyster" allegedly derives from a term commonly used by logging workers in the Pacific Northwest at the end of the 19th century. When a load of lumber was ready to be transported, a logger would yell "Hoist 'er!". According to the Hyster Company web page, this term became synonymous with Hyster trucks.
Distribution and support for Hyster products is organized around major world regions: North America and Canada; Latin America; Europe the Middle East & Africa; Asia – Pacific.
Hyster also manufactured a very successful line of compaction machinery and road rollers including machines for earth compaction, garbage compaction and asphalt compaction. Through the 1960s and 1970s Hyster was a major force in these types of machinery in America and they produced a wide range of models with many successful design concepts. Hyster was eventually absorbed into Bomag America/Compaction America (Now known as HYPAC) and some models including a small articulated rubber tire roller sold under the Hypac name is an original descendent of the Hyster machine.
Hyster also made a successful line of logging winches and compactor attachments, both of which could be attached to other manufactures machines including Caterpillar. Hyster Compactors. The Hyster name has been associated with forklift trucks for many decades, however, Hyster was also very prominent manufacturer of compaction equipment. From the 1950s through the 1980s they had a very comprehensive and well regarded line of products. Along with the Raygo company these two manufacturers were perhaps the best known in the USA, Up until European and other brands became common.
Hyster's Home office was Portland Oregon but they also had manufacturing plants in Danville, Peoria and Kewanee Illinois America. And Australia Belgium, Brazil, Canada, South Africa and Scotland (Facts from a 1969 Brochure)

This 1993 Leyland DAF 45 was seen parked amongst multiple other horseboxes at Rockrose Equestrian Sports Centre, near East Linton, Scotland. While not always especially interesting, horsebox lorries tend to be considerably old and rare, one example being this 31 year old Leyland. The vehicle is still taxed and in use, and interestingly its V5C logbook was last issued only last July. If we're to presume that date is when its current owner purchased the lorry, it should have a good few years left at work, over three decades after being registered.
