I’m pretty sure that’s Dave Pullin RIP driving that Reiver - just loaded in Tytherington quarry. He was a lovely bloke with a great sense of humour 
Those Reivers could carry nearly 17 tonnes within a gross weight of 24390 kgs…
Not Ameys but good photos Taylors Hill sandpit Godstone.

I have, just bought a thingy that changes ‘slides’ to digital, really good. Spent ages this morning trying to put them on here but it wouldn’t work. Sused that it was because the file was too large. I’ll put some more on in a bit.
Another pic at Dow Macs We were taking beams to Coventry for the inner ring road.
We used to leave at 1ish in the morning, travel up through the night via Birmingham. Arrive on site early hours, sit there and wait to be unloaded before lunch time. Back down to Gloucester and load up again. Park up in a café just outside of Dow Macs where I had my car. Drive home, drop Bob Blowing the driver off at his house in Wooton, I would go home, change and go and see my girlfriend leave her ,pick up Bob at 11.30 ish drive back to Gloucester and then start all over again.
This went on for a couple of months. I was the mate/steersman. This was in the late 60’s before tachographs and log books, where you wrote out a single sheet log and when you had done your hours stick it under the engine blanket and start another!!
We did have Friday night saturday night off.
