yes DEAN ,Corbetts were from Much Wenlock ,mostly tippers that worked out of the limestone quarries on nearby Wenlock edge .
Lovely to see the Hinos of D H Jones from Ruabon ,now there were on my doorstep ,they did a lot of coal out of South Wales ,and were also Hino agents ,thank you DEAN ,Trevor

DEANB:
Now then Chris i bet your old school report’s said you “Must pay more attention” as not only did you not notice the reg, but you also did not
notice the article you are talking about that i posted on page 361 chap ! :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :wink:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I think they said things like, “must try to stay awake in class”…

That’s what comes of trying to catch up on a fortnight’s backlog!

Why bother with a signwriter when you could use a roll of black tape!.. Great photo though.

^^^^ I think the above would be the late Phillip Gregory from Bonsall Derbys , a very hard working owner driver been to the Middle East ect done Moscow and all of Europe .after the Merc he had V8 turbo stars with a tilt trailer .

Thanks for your comments Trevor. Heres a different one of a Jones Hino. I cant remember if Hino’s were that popular ? Do you know how
many of them they operated Trevor ? Out of intrest were they a dealer/garage for Hino as you sometimes find that a company that operates
less popular truck also are dealers ? :unamused: :smiley: :wink:

i bet you could listen to him all day Dan, he must have some cracking stories to tell. :smiley: :wink:

Hello DEAN ,thank you for another Jones Hino ,would Paul remember where he took that picture ?
Yes , im sure as i remember D H JOnes were agents for Hinos they were also coal and oil merchants , no body else in the Wrexham area had any ,but thier was a firm from Ellesmere Port ,D H Morgan had several tippers on muck shifting work , and the only one in Shropshire i can recall was an artic with Peter Bowker Bridgnorth ,not very popular but they were fast ,thank you DEAN ,Trevor
