Yes Vic he did, the man was a legend and I remember my Dad saying that he knew the job inside out. Can’t say that I knew Sadie’s can you remember where it was?

And they are no longer there , the Fountainbridge Brewery is closed & the site almost cleared , both sides of road . Can bet they would not need an ■■■■■■ to be removed .

Eh!!!
Hi Alan, am I right in thinking these dished tank tops were manufactured by firm in Leven called Balfour & Co. Back in 1964/ 5 ? I loaded about six dished ends (similar shaped domes about 8 ft diameter) these I had to deliver to the Charles Roberts company at Horbury Junction near Wakefield. This was a firm that made railway tank wagons for the transport of bulk liquids, these dished ends were used to form the front and back ends of cylindrical liquid tankers. I had a BMC Morris FHK 140 horizontal engined model four wheeler at the time.
Cheers . Leyland 600
