Hi Dave, yes anything old was good, first I had was AEC unit 40ft single axle trailer wheels right on the end, next was Scammell ex Mason bros, Rotherham, ERF, and the only new unit a 684 Fiat, crap, only drivers name I remember on Barretts was Louis Duffton, brain fade, English Electric work was good apart from the tackle, but it got the job done and it was experience. Les.

Hi gloves have you got any photos of Bebbs of cullingwoth.
Cheers dave.Sorry if you have seen some of the tow trucks before on other sites, but still interesting as over 30 years since photo’d them.
Not many from Bebbs though, as I had started to photo tippers, mixers, powder tankers etc. Then only bothered with flats if they had a hiab on

I remember seeing them about in the `80s , when did they start up and when did they finish. Did they do a bit for Magnet or am I imagining that?
Bebbs did yes but really don’t know much about TMS from wigan

They started early 70s working for lep in Bradford mostly doing london mullty drops
started loading back from Magnet at Grays which led to doing loads out of Keighley.
Mid 70s they also started working for the Repton foundrey at Crossflats Bingley
which kept us very busy.
Regards Dave.
