Yes, definately! When I started at the quarry, April 2nd 1975, the first job I did was to assist the late Trevor Stephenson (who was later killed in a motorcycle accident in Ashbourne) in lifting the radiator back onto it. The vehicle had recently sustained either a cab fire or damaged in an RTA and a new replacement was fitted in our workshop, you can just see that there is a curved ‘flitch plate’ from the nearside windscreen pillar extending across the top of the front bulkhead which was a later factory fitment to try and stop the cab cracking up around the screen. The original driver was a chap named Nelson Clews, but he had left when I started and the driver in the photo is Paul Jones who lived at Kingsley Holt in Staffordshire, the truck was based at our Kevin quarry near Alton Towers at that time. Paul had worked for Herman Tideswell at Kingsley but didn’t stay with Tilcon for long (tipper work doesn’t suit everyone) and I believe he returned to Tideswells again? What happened to it then I’m not sure, it was only a 24 tonne gross SWB and couldn’t be uprated so would have been disposed of early, unlike many of the 30 tonners which were recabbed as S40’s. Kevin quarry had a few drivers around that time who came and went fairly rapidly, and it wouldn’t have been used at our Ballidon quarry, so my information ends there! 
I wish I knew the locations of these Tilcon pics though, they did do a certain amount of distance work from both quarries (Twyford near Winchester, Felsted in Essex regularly during sugar beet season with sugar stone, Kent, Cornwall, Isle of Wight etc) but these recent pics could be somewhere in the Midlands? Thank’s for posting them, and apologies for the ramblings!
Edited to add that Bill Clowes (Old Stokie) may know more about its early life as he was driving at Kevin quarry in the days before I joined Tilcon?

When you go into ‘Quote’, you need to start typing your message AFTER the last quote on the page. This separates your message from everyone else’s. If you fail to do that no one knows who’s written what and your message gets lost in the mess!
Hope that helps.
