You na a decent outfit when you see one Larry :wink: ,aye the coils would have been loaded by Len Valsler who ran the Gravesend operation,safe as houses that load,the whole outfit would have to have turned over and I dare say the coils would still be chained tight !! Cheers Dennis.

Bewick:
One for Andrew,although this tractor wasn’t in the same class as OJM480L!! 36ft York LD34 loaded with coil from Dartford (I think) for Stelrad parked on Shap Road,Kendal on a Sunday afternoon.

Hi Dennis,
We used to take coil to stelrad ideal at Dalbeattie and mexborough.
Regards andrew.
