Hello Dai jones thank you for your reply , your father operated a very smart fleet from the Gower , to reiterate i remember them at Alcoa , heading north to the Metal box factories , and i believe on occasions it would be as far as Carlisle , and more locally Perry Wood Worcester . thank you regards Keith .
