Hi, Otto,
Late 60’s I would have been on bulk tippers, having returned from a couple of years living near Tenby. Unfortunately I “lost” the new Big J I had previously had new and was awarded an ex-contract Big J which had been on the Wall’s Ice Cream fleet, painted light blue- remember those? I pulled a heavy steel bulk trailer and the only time I had anything to do with Bridgend was to fly past it on the way to more exotic destinations like Briton Ferry or Margam!

You missed out passing Bridgend depot ROF, it had one of the best canteens going, I delivered Castrol oil products in there for BRS Oldbury depot.

hi trev did my advanced driving corse bridgend . could not wait for dinner time . good grub yea .
