I’ve just been talking to 2 ex ■■■■ Hampton Blokes names they said were … Poncho, Wes and Jammy…
I may be on cross purposes here but did ■■■■ Hampton have a depot at Tunbridge Wells in the 1950/60 period based on the road the runs across the top edge of the town

Here is another.Guy Warrior with ballast on towing a scraper.Those 463s weighed 16tons.No brakes of course.
Pushed like hell going downhilRegards Charlie0
Used to drive for John Jones Excavations in Stockport Cheshire,used to take those 463 boxes with a ballasted ERF,I remember the wire ropes used to chaff,which allowed the box blade to drop onto the tarmac,you had to scotch the wheels and drag the wire rope along the road until you had lifted the blade up enough to clip it to hold it in place,then you were off again!..happy days they were!
Rgds,
