Yes Steve it’s the same one and it was taken in Mick Corbishley’s yard have just arrived from South Uist and we were unloading it,The chap then went to Thorley’s to take some hay and straw back with him.I then drove it down to Angus’s where it stood for a long time and then went to a chap at the bottom of the hill at Alton and it did have a for sale sign but if you remember a coach from Alton Towers ran away knocked a wall down and the Loadstar so a bit of history there.
I think that motor looked like ex W.D. but B F is a Staffordhire no.Burton was F.A.( not the F A not the F A. we down to earth chaps use.)

Tony

A couple for Tony (Rastone) from his neck of the woods, Cheer’s Pete
