Hi Dean,
The Leyland Badger belongs to Paul Adams from Brewood Staff’s. It was new to a company in Brownhills and has covered a huge mileage, it was traded in at Brownhills Commercials for a Leyland Comet in the early 1970’s. The owner of Brownhills Commercials, Ralph Ferrie, kept her for a few years until selling it to Paul in 1976 ish I think.
She now has a lift to shows on the back of Pauls M series, I suppose she has earned a rest!
2nd pic is me leaving Onslow Park Shrewsbury. Cheer’s Pete
Good pics and info Pete,thanks for posting !

Yes Maurice Hill are still in business, in spite of running Mercedes, , long established traditional haulier, all flat trailer work. They did have a satellite depot near Burton at one time.
