Well the ERFs he had must have been Gardners IMO,Regards Larry.
AECs were “Old” George’s, Larry. It was “Young” George- his son- who had the Gardner-engine lorries. They were signwritten, “George M. Read”.
.
He did run a few with 240 Gardners, but sadly never a Big J!

Hiya…a couple of things. that ship lorry with a 14 litre 320 ■■■■■■■ must have been a good bit of kit.

ERF with me in the late 60,s
