Hi Pete, This 1946 Reg Vulcan reminds me of the one I drove for a short time, GUP 670, Ex BRS, It had a P6 Engine in It was the worst wagon I ever drove, The brakes were very poor ,IIRC It had no servo assistance fitted, It was sold on to a local coal man from Gateshead who told me his drivers didn’t need brakes, , The good old bad days, Regards Larry.

Dennis I don’t need any sort of brakes anymore I just slow down naturaly, I blame getting old for this, Im faster when ive had a few Malts , Regards Larry.
Dennis, Can you remember the Volcanic Vulcan as RWB referred to it when AD acquired the business from Jake Strong or were you still in nappies then ?
I can but only just, I think William drove it until they got the new Comet.
Cheers, Leyland 600
