AEC Mercury

I recall that in the late 60’s and early 70’s the Milnthorpe firm of Davy& Co subsiduaries K.Fell & J.L.Ion operated trailing axle AEC Marshals which were basically Mercurys with a third axle.These 6 wheelers were mainly operated on Contract to the Libby factory next door to them.From memory they had light weight wood ali 27ft flats and could carry 15ton payload at 22ton GVW.So they were more-or-less the equivalent of an eight wheeler.Cheers Bewick.
