In the early 60s my dad did night trunk for Hawthorns from Swansea, waste paper down & cannot remember what he brought back, used to hand over to his day man in Oxford. His Depot Manager in Wales was George Hicks, who went on to start/run Hicks & Son, blue & white wagons doing European + Middle East. I remember the old man saying he went down one night & had a message to call in the depot, on arrival Goerge Hicks said they needed his wagon for service & to take the one parked across the yard. Dad said “Here George, its gt no plates on it & no discs in the screen!” The old man was told to pull over by it & drop his trailer, then a fitter was sent across & he took the number plates off dads wagon & screwed them on the bumper of the other one, & th discs were swapped the same, the old man was told to call in the next night & pick his wagon up!
