Hi Andrew, I used to load from Jack Sharkey " Alright Boy - got an ingot for ya out a Consett to Llanwern " I think IIRC it paid about £80 in those days! A lovely bloke Jack- always paid on time.
Brilliant weather for abergavenny show, some lovely looking motors on display, especially a ford d1618 from thomas of brynmawr, it was absolutly spotless, but the star of the show was hancocks of nelson old steam sentinel that looked like ithad just rolled off the production line

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news all, but have to announce the very sad and sudden death of Steve Prince on the bank holiday.
He will be deeply missed both by myself and all of my colleagues at Finning as both a friend and a fantastic driver and crane operator.
RIP mate
