This KM Bedford was the first 16 ton G.V.W. lorry that I bought in 1978.
“Big H”, Harry Jones is seen here checking his ropes before setting off
with a full load of pallets. This motor was a “Flying Machine”,
Harry was stopped on the A74 by the Dumfries Police for doing well in
excess of 60 M.P.H. near to Kirkpatrick Fleming. If my memory is correct,
I think that the A74 from past the top of the M6 was a 40 M.P.H. dual carriageway.
Its meself in the second picture. Regards, Ray Smyth
