hi andrew
the aec was probably from m j parry from bayston hill, shrewsbury looking at the green and red livery, but i cannot confirm
i have never been involved in transport in a working capacity, just an enthusiast.
i was a butcher by trade and many years ago we had a small slaughterhouse at the rear of our shop in birmingham. i used to go to market on a monday with my father on school holidaysband had a ride back to birmingham in an o type bedford in the late 50’s. that was the beginning and i am still taking truck photos today, but the livestock lorries are harder to get these days, i was still buying at ludlow market up to a couple of years ago and always had the camera at the ready.
have a few other werst country motors in my collection- bampton cattle, tony england, gooding come to mind.
i am still looking for the stuart 110 pics , hope to find tomorrow but they are not as good as those i posted today

I to would love to see any photos you may have 143 topline. I spent many days when ?I should have ben at school sitting in a cattle truck but never had a camera. Never got to Ludlow market though. The nearest I got to there was Bridgenorth market when my late brother drove a Thames Trader cattle truck for John Troughton. We went to Bridgenorth to fetch a load of pigs back to Baxters slaughterhouse in Gloucester. I often pass the end of the road where Baxters used to be & think of that trip.
