Hello gah1950,
Thanks for the info and the numbers, most of which I don’t have, the motors nearly always came in batches so I have some numbers close to the ones you posted.
I have found numerous place dotted around the country where St.Ives worked from, a lot were former WW2 airfields when they put the concrete from the runways through the crusher, I didn’t find one for South Wales though, where exactly was the quarry?
Thanks again, all the best,
Nick

Cheers for that, it all ties in as Joe Bugner lived in the St.Ives (Huntingdon) area around that time.
