Hi John , wouldn,t have thought so he would be about 75 now I remember poor old Ray had a fella commit suicide on the M4 he was trundling along in the inside lane and he walked right out into his path .
2 for Jakey,
Southsea Road Kingston upon Thames.
Always a 8am delivery but you had to be in the street by 07.15ish or you would not get in yard.
The advantage was a quick turnaround and a tea waiting.

This is the 2nd picture
Thanks Dai ,your photos of the Rockwool or Brs general haulage motors always make my day . 
My dad bought this new from fletchers swansea.it had a tl12 engine.
Hi all,
I had this picture kindly sent via a customer,who’s related to John Morgan,the M in J&M.Taken I’d say long before the days of health and safety.Looks to me like a SCOW Atki,possibly SDW 903,which J&M did buy,I first remember seeing it as a kid in the 70’s,known as “The Abbey shunter”,driven by the legend,Arthur “Big A” Underhill.I think? my father had his job at Jones Motors after Arthur left for pastures new. Everyone in South Wales road transport then, knew Arthur,a great man imo.R.I.P.
