Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)

Buzzer:
Arthur Green from Bratford (Bradford) remember them well when I was doing Italy long time ago, Buzzer.

I was talking to Andy Green last week. No shows this year, but he and his brother Richard are hoping things will get back to normal next year. They have also rebuilt a 1950 or 1952 Leyland Hippo which has the same cab as the Beaver.

I was at school with Andy in the 1960s. His Dad (Arthur Green’s son) ran the company which was all timber then. Andy says that by about 1980 the sawmills had started felling their own timber and were cutting them out of the middle. Andy left and went to work for Leeds council (I think as a sort of environmental advisor.) Older brother Richard diversified into international haulage. When they finished, they let the garage and yard, but still keep a small corner for their classic truck refurbishment.

Otley, a couple of years ago.
