Can anybody shed light on this photo of my dads Tanker that exploded with my dad inside been blown up, my dad was Mr Joe Atkinson this was taken and published in the local paper looking for year or any information of this,

regards Graham Atkinson

Hi Graham, looks like a terrible incident, I assume in a Harold Woods workshop. I’ve been in contacts with dozens of retired drivers and I’ve never heard it mentioned, where did it happen ?
This type of explosion has happened a few times in the industry, I remember one in particular, I think a sugar tanker, where the mechanic had accidentaly left an gas welder open, this filled the tank with gas, came back from dinner and struck a lighter with catastrophic results

Hi dont no any other information about it, only an apprentice was using a blow lamp and my dad was cleaning inside when it happened, girl in the office thre clothing over my dad to save hime and he was badly burned over his left hand side of his chest, it made local newspaper think this is where this photo came from…

regards graham
