Bloody hell that’s a shocker. :open_mouth:
I knew John since I was a kid, he worked for his Dad Edwin who was a coal merchant with a small haulage business, working out of Carrs Mill I think…my Dad drove for him for a short time.
John later on done some of the haulage out of Micaply Silloth with a blue Dodge and later an ERF as far as I remember.
He had a couple of 7 and half tonners and a pick up…his Dad Edwin drove that for him.
He also had an old orange A series ERF which Tom Pattinson later drove, then John updated his fleet with brand new rigid 16 tonner Mercs with sleeper cabs.
Last time I spoke to him was in the Golf Hotel in Silloth, he told me he was a salesman at Merc trucks Carlisle, he had just sold one to Jim Lawson.I think he said.
RIP John mate.
