Hi Larry, Re H&L was formed by Alec Lavery BRS Howgate (Whitehaven) HF Code manager and a guy called Holloway from North Lincs at Scunthorpe circa 1963 They took the BRS traffic to Scunthorpe from Distington Engineeering Co plus a lot of other bread and butter work to Sheffield and some Marchon traffic. They bought seven or eight Johnstones Gilcrux ERFs with the A licenses at the same time in order to start operating. Hodgeturbo’s recent posting was one of the ex Johnstone ERFs.
Cheers,
Leyland 600
