Anyone know who had this Dodge brand new in Herefordshire. Pic courtesy of David AKA Truckfing.
Hi Dave , Tracy Read ,down Kings acre springs to mind but his were mostly tippers . Or maybe Colemans over at Burley Gate ■■ . regards Keith .
If memory serves me, I thought Howard Coleman ran only Bedfords?
Knowing Maurice it probably started life as something different than a tipper! 
All three were featured in Heritage Commercial magazine a while ago.
Edited to say that I have just spoken to Maurice and part of the truck came from near Ross on Wye where it was a flatbed carrying hay. Other bits (cab parts, axles etc) came from Malta, as did his Comet cab, and I guess that he built the body himself, again as he did with his Comet. Hope this helps!
Pete.
Hinton’s from Leomister could have run a Dodge like that.
Cheers Dave.
The only Dodges i can recall from the Ross area were yellow tippers by a chap named Jackson from Upton Bishop .regards Keith .

I remember Jackson having one in Stretton Sugwas gravel pit Casey until the 1980’s, always kept his lorry immaculate.

Hi Dave,as requested here are the Gammonds ERF shots,Cheers Bubbs, 
Sorry to bring this back a few pages, but is that a twin wheeled midlift or just something in the pic making it appear that way? Never seen one like that before!
Also would this axle be bent to accommodate the propshaft like modern ones ?
FLOURPOWER:
BULMERS
Good to see a Bulmers wagon FLOURPOWER,they ran 180 vehicles at one time. Now most of the work is done by Kuhne Nagel.
Cheers Dave.

Guess what was under this Volvo Dave
Possibly a wheelbarrow David. Nash Rocks owned Tonfanau quarry at one time.
Cheers Dave.
hi Dave. I remember Hendre quarry having these new. first fh12s I saw. they had 7 together. After Hansons bought Tonfanau they were painted hansons blue. Then they were sold off. Some of the drivers bought them and worked as owner drivers for Hanson. Tonfanau is still closed. Hendre is still open but the tarplant is shut

Its a shame Merfyn. I remember Hendre as a busy quarry years ago, even though it was a difficult place to get to at Ystrad Meurig.
Cheers Dave.
Another bucketfull going onto Elwyn Mills dumper.
My old mate Jack Thomson, loading one of the dumpers at the Gore quarry, with a JCB 7C Hydraulic 360.
All the other 360’s at the Gore in those days were Ruston-Bucyrus face shovels.
We had one of those small AB dumpers at Ballidon Dave, a Heathfield design I think with a Leyland 680 engine? Our one came much later, around the late 1970’s, and was used to feed one of the block plants.

Morning Dave,
There is one of those Barford dumpers on the entrance to Bayston Hill quarry all painted up,They are a far cry to the dumpers that are used today,
Regards Graham.

Seen that one Graham, as you say, a far cry from the dumpers you see today. You could almost get more in a pram than that one

Mann-Abell had these three new at the Gore in the mid 1960’s,also an Aveling Barford loading shovel which was a big improvement on the kit that the previous owners,
Old Radnor Trading Company had.
Cheers Dave.
These replaced old knackered ex road four wheelers as the dumpers in the Gore quarry.
Heading down to tip into the crusher at Gore quarry, Radnorshire.
That last picture shows clearly the little window behind the driver Dave. The whole seat / dash could be swivelled round
to allow the dumper to be driven body first like the little building site dumpers but although I drove and maintained a
few I never saw one used like that. I got a rollocking off an Aveling Barford fitter once because I was welding the
body with the earth lead clamped on the chassis and he said it could arc through the ram and scar it.
