Cracking shot of the Big J dropside tipper Marcus,fairly low sides though,would it just have been a quarry tipper?or might it have hauled something low and heavy ? I see the sheet looks like it is made to measure.Cheers Dennis.

hiya,
Doubt if it’s ingots, woudn’t need sheeting could be scrap lead or iron ore if you loaded it with that to the height of even those low sides that Big J would be well over the knot, and it’s certainly not my wages so we’re left with Webby’s night out money that could be it.
thanks harry long retired.

Whilst we are on old tankers,
here’s a couple my uncle used to drive,0I guess you know that MUL 562 is still alive and well?
Nope - had no idea, tell me more - I am sure Uncle Joe will be thrilled to hear about her!
Somewhere on my old PC at home, I have a pic of it on the fairground with Benson’s, but it’s been restored many years now, though it has changed hands a few times…

WOuld that be Bensons from Dorking ?
My Uncle just told me that the Atki was based at York Road Battersea & belonged to Gartons Glucose, It ran regular to Frys Chocolate at Keynsham with 40 gallon drums of Glucose.
He was based at Manbre & Gartons at Hammersmith & had to go over to Battersea & drive it when they were short of drivers.

I have a paper copy of the road test that this picture was taken on - sadly it’s all in French; I think the road test was done in Belgium. It was in amongst a bundle of Atkinson literature I bought for £5 on a tat stall at the Atki Rally, when it was down at the Blist Hills Museum at Telford.
It threw it down with rain for most of the weekend, but after it cleared on the Sunday, a few stalls were setup and I bagged (what turned out to be) a bit of a bargain. One of these days, I’ll scan some of that literature - if I can find the envelope again!!
These are for Harry Gill. Photo taken by Arthur Ingram on the M1 in the 1960s.
A few I posted elsewhere but as always they also belong on Marcus’s Scrapbook Memories
All are by Roger Kenney except for the M1 pic which is by Arthur Ingram. That was Harry Gill’s wagon
Bloody hell Harry they were catching you on camera in the 60s thats got me thinking now
cheers Johnnie

Was that a Krupp cabbed Atki Marky?
Yes indeed - it was the infamous Krupp cab.
Error!
