Proper job!!!

This is a great home town photo Andrew.
This thread /site just gets better every day, new contributors appreciating the quality of its content and sharing family memories. It goes beyond the trucks, as it involves people, past and present who have all played a part in this tough business.
Is it me, or is there something special here which gives it the edge over other threads. The fact that Graham called Andrew and invited him to get live shots speaks for itself, and even more so that Andrew obliged. Brilliant, and thanks to all involved.

hi richgriff,
thank you very much .please continue with posting your brilliant pictures.here’s another from gah1950,this time,what looks to me? like an old ruston bucyrus machine,they were once a world leader in crane/drag line manufacture from lincoln,long before manufacturers with long names entered and conquered the market .

The aforementioned machine, parked next to my 6x2 unit on Michael Wood in 2004. Didn’t seem to be keeping up with mine on the road run!! 
240 Gardner,could never keep up with you.The extra axle always helps Dont forget GRJ has two extra cylinders to pull.Ha.Ha.Steve Richardson from Garstang now owns GRJ,he has the Billington Atki and always badgered me about the 240.The old girl was not best pleased being kept outside.Glad Steve will cherish her.Ive enjoyed driving that lorry,unless youve driven one cannot explain how youre body vibrates the following morning having done numerous miles.Also bobtail,no trailer!! ouch.The wife wore a sports bra the last time we went out in GRJ.Hoping for a better ride in the Leyland. Don`t tell the wife.
hi all,
a few more from our good friend gah1950.i can’t get enough of these photos .
