Hi Lespullen, I don’t know Billy Dass personally but used to see his wagons especially the ERF 6 wheeler he had a few years ago passing the holiday cottage we used to stay in at Netherbutton plus you an see activities in his sandpit from the Northfield road on Burray. The fleet has been upgraded quite a bit these days.

He was driving the Merc last I saw him, that’s some haulage down at the Bu carting sand out to the farms, every time he takes a load out the sea washes another load back in, yes 4 wagons now must be doing ok. Les.
