Smith of Maddiston had one of the largest fleets of Big J’s,during fleet renewal,which was a regular annual event,trailer after trailer used to either be collected ex Maddiston or came down overnight trunk and collected by the day drivers and delivered to which Depot they were allocated to,1 Big J,with a 240 Percy in it,was collected from Newton Le Willows Depot and driven to Manchester Depot,that was on my first day at Smith’s,I thought all my birthdays had come at once,what a flying machine that motor was,unfortunately,Harold Gilmore,the Depot Manager at Manchester took it off me not long after I started on nights,allocated me a 240 Percy,but in an ERF,again nice motor.
Happy days!
