Another long gone company I drove for in 82 only for a few months, I had a Commer Commando tipper leading red stone from Harden Quarry near Rothbury.

Hi all just a quick message to let all of you who knew my dad that he sadly passed away suddenly on 18th, to say the whole family are devastated is an understatement.
We are just having a small family cremation as its what he wanted and I’m sure you can all understand we have to respect his wishes
