[/quote]Hello Dave,
Yes it was on TV at the time of the strikes in the early 80s. It’s a poor photo -I took the photo off my tv recording of the strikes. The Dodge was going into Duport Steelworks Llanelli through the picket line. They also showed Royse Jones in his Transcon going out loaded.
I went through that picket line afew times myself, but stopped going there when it got a bit rough.
The steelworks closed down soon after the strike. We hauled the steel billets for ten years.
Regards - Hywel.)

There was one with a firm in Auchenleck it was tractor unit supplied new and had a V8 ■■■■■■■ after a few months it threw the flywheel through the bellhousing and continued to make a bad habit of it so after putting up with it for a while they evenyually sold it on. Eddie.
