ianto:
yes dave it was a carmarthen registration number my father used to run 2 wagons used to run concrete pipes out of albion concrete up country and back load animal feed out of b.o.c.m avonmouth spillers cardiff or ranks blue cross barry and in the spring/summer fertilizer out of fisons or ici sevenside he also did animal feed from kinghton [radco]ranks to ranks barry
I fetched pipes from Albion concrete at Llangadog with a BMC FG IN 1968, it was only a four ton payload builders tipper, but I regularly carried six ton on it, running from Llandovery up through to Trecastle used to take forever, the lorry was only six months old, but only had a four cylinder engine. I was twenty years old. I then moved up to a Bedford TK tipper at 14 ton gross.
Ilive 7 miles from Knighton Ianto, went to school there. I later drove for S W Brisbanes next door to Radco’s yard, its still there,Clynderwyn farmers and Henry lea Oakes run a couple of feed bulkers out of the yard now, the rest of it is used by a couple of Hauliers as an operating centre.
Cheers Dave.
