hello dai,
thanks for the information,i wasn’t aware that one of the sons had done that? i remember,many years after, colin o’brien,a regular caller at joint’s yard. what relation was he to the david family?as i remember it,back then,he was the boss at blue line.here are two more from my good mate gareth thomas from pembs.evans and williams of letterston in their unforgettable fleet livery,pure class imo……

Hiya,
We only ever pulled single axle trailers with the little Mercury’s, if tandems needed
moved we used the Mandator’s or an equivalent unit Mercury’s only ever pulled the
single axle trailers a fully loaded tandem would put them well over the top whack.
thanks harry, long retired.
Hi all. Andrew great photos as usual. I have been really busy at work lately and not had much time to check in as I normally would.
I would like to congratulate Graham Hillman on his award/recognition last month. Well done to a true professional.
Regards Paul.
