Buzzer:
Hi Dean the man you asked about with the Leyland Marathon was Ron Blackman who did traction for A.S.Rawlings on work to Italy with empty cows most of the time, a lifelong supporter of the Leyland mark even though at Rawlings he was surrounded by the Volvo mark but he never wavered, he was also heavily involved with round timber haulage and wood clearance IIRC. the company is still going today now run by a relative Kevin Rawlings the motors are all black now with silver writing and I posted a picture the other day but cant find it now if I do I will post for you, cheers Buzzer.Found a later picture Dean, is this a T45 model ? and now the latest in todays colour scheme .
