Hi Barry, indeed I do, smart green/blue sort of colour, had a smart undercover yard on the high street, remember bringing one of their drivers home on route from Sunderland when he had engine trouble, not sure what happened to them, sold up I guess? They ran a levy land 4 wheeler tipper also I recall.
Cheers Sbf10

B&C, Arther Bourne & John Cowper, John went separate ways and had a new D Series artic tipper in the Quarry and as now sadly passed away. I worked for Shuker haulage at rednal in the early seventies and being next door to B&C,I do remember The AEC but i am sure it was a 760. I will see Arthers son in law when he calls for a cup of tea as he will know what engine,he was the fitter. They had two Roman lorries and had a lot of trouble .with diffs, They were no bigger than a moggy 1000.
