Or any Longs photos β– β– ?

Yes, will put them on soon as i get chance.

I wonder how many of todays drivers could load wool like that behind the Big J?
I used to be able to load wool but I don’t think that I ever got as tidy a load as that.

Certainly looks like him! and he hasn’t altered much.
The trailer looks like it might be the one I had at Blackburns and Ashworths got when Blackburns folded.

That is frank and as del said he hasnt altered much
