Evening.

Great pictures by all - I have a pic somewhere of one of the Old Mans old Layland Bufflos pulling a Powder tank in Malta years ago. Will have to make trip one day.

What happened to the 2 Antars DMD were using in Cardiff on the Ely link road? I think they bought them off Bruce Jenkins.

Heres a pic from 1970 in Hobbs Stormy Down. Its a Guy Reg number XTX988H. Apparently it was one of the first to have an all alloy body by Alususse I think.

I think it was Driven by Randall Clatworthy ( Now he was some kind of nutter) and Alan Griffiths (A.S Griffiths) reveresed back and ripped the door off!

Hi Andrew

There are a lot of old memories this thread is brining back. If it puts a smile on peoples faces its all priceless. The memories of the Turk always made me laugh. I never knew whether the stories were true but they were always entertaining!

Billy ( Dad I always called him ) was one of the hardest working men I have ever seen & also one of the cleverest when it came to a quick fix. I rember the Bogies he made in J&M for carrying concrete that had a marina gearbox on the steering to alter the ratio.

Do you have any idea if I can find out if the N10 is for sale?

Heres a few more - The top one is the old man in the S26 extended cab, The Foden I think is in Cornelly Quarry and Locks Cat 992 pulling a tanker up Sarn Bank in the snow! :laughing:
