Hi Dean,
Thanks for the John Beynon Evans DAF picture.As a kid in the 1970’s I used to watch them and many other Newport hauliers tipping Bell line box’s right outside where our family business was located back then.Here is a Cardiff International subbie?A long way from South Wales.

Hi Andrew,
The only Eddison I know of started with steam rollers and then went on to plant hire associated with road resurfacing,
A Wynns Scania for you, Cheer’s Pete

Just to recap on Eddison Plant ,Their depot was in Fairways Crescent in Fairwater Cardiff, Another plant firm that disappeared in the 80s.

Hi all,
Abercynon based Thurston dairies ran this F10.

Thurston Dairys was originally owned by a Mr Jenkins of Thurston Street Abercynon until Don Griffiths bought the business out in the early 60s, Don worked hard at expanding the milk side of the business but later on he purchased some F10s to bring Masons pop from the midlands to his premises in Abercynon on the estate near to where Garth Bakery is situated and where the photo was taken,

Hi all if you look on page 200,201 quite a bit of history on thurston by a few members
