Just found these on the net. Think they may be video stills.

Bump back to the first page with a “Modern Distillers”

Think Albert would turn in his grave, what with power steering and now a fork lift for unloading as well.
Barry, last time I saw your dad, he was working for Oldham Corporation in the garage and I was working for BOC. Must be over 20 years ago.
Give him my regards.
