0The late Norman Carrs tractor seat collection. Regards Larry.

I was sorry when Norman passed away Larry, I got on very well with him and his wife. He went ‘downhill’ when his lad died and was never the same. They ran the engine section at the ■■■■■■■ Steam event for a few years and our paths crossed a lot through the years at Driffield, Lincoln etc. He had engines, horticultural machinery, seats and bygones and you never knew what he was going to turn up with. He told me all about when he drove for Mintos, they were a very nice couple.

Pete.

Hi Pete, Norman was a good friend of mine, He worked for Mintos a very long time, He was an all rounder he drove all their Tractor Timber Hauling out of the Forests, When Mintos finished he got a job at Jewsons on Hyab wagons, He lived close to me on the same estate, His son lives even closer in the same street as me. Regards Larry.

A few more as Covid is over and there are no other disasters happened in the world according to the BBC all that is important now is the Olympics, DOH

I would imagine that the ERF legger chassis hanging on the back of the P N Watts Foden is one or the other of these, looking a bit different now. Mr Watts is local to me and owns both of them, I often see him with them at the local shows.

I suspect the only thing Bedford left on that is the cab.
