reminds me of doing basalt chippings from dalton hill to the asphalt plant at ferry bridge when they were dulling the a1 . load up , weigh out and lose a couple of tons round the corner . there was no weigh bridge at the plant and the old bmc went better with 7 tons than 9 , plus the gaffer had a nice little sideline selling chippings. cheers , dave
During the late seventies; the Scania 111 seemed thick on the ground around the Ipswich/Felixstowe area. All coming from Scantruck at Stowmarket.
One of my employers told me that it was “worth a fortune” to have a dealer just 15mins away. That’s why he stuck with ERFs - just up the road from R.Read’s.
