My old guvnors Dad bless him worked there and used to say they had the best leylands in the country.If you evry went in to any Leyland depot with a problem the fitters would stop whatever they were working on and get you going right away also he used to say the Bros imported there own fitters fom turkey or some where I thinkHi Barkingbill,
Davis went to Turkey and recruited Mechanics,came back and bought a 27 seater Bus put 2 Drivers on it and sent it to pick them up,brought them back some of them worked at Wapping and some at the Ranch Brentwood.Ben.
In the book “Where do you want this lot” by Bob Rust (if you haven’t read it I would highly recommend it) there is a chapter on Davis Bros. & it says the Turkish fitters actually lived in a container in Davis’ yard!
