Aye,past it and in it Andrew. He could slice cheese so thin you could see through it,he had a moustache I think. Would be in the 1970s when I was in and out of BP Baglan and Llandarcy.
This picture is for Bewick,Dennis you may remember? A while back I mentioned joint’s specialy adapted daf shunter driven by the late eddy “Taff” Jenkins that could and regularly did weigh out 28 tonne loads legally at 38 tonnes gross.seen here in her final days as a yard shunter.by this time all the abbey shunting tractors were painted blue and were individually numbered.
This merc was owned by a subbie mark?the daf was either r.d. Burrows or a Manchester based subbie grassmeer motors?going back a bit now
Hi didn’t know joints had a few MANs . Tony

M440 PTH was a 2438 on rent to Mark Davies of Treoes from Bevans Commercials. The stripes come from D K Haulage (Daryl Kemp) who was subbie with Golden Vale dairies who had it before Mark took it on. iirc
