Some more local(ish) rescuers…

Colin

Two local tipper operators from 80/90s. I remember both used to run stone from the Mendips into the ARC asphalt plant next to SWTD in Totton (not the present one)
I think there was a family connection between the two.
I think one of the Pratts drivers went on to work for Water Bros.
I do know that Pratts had a yard not far from where Pat lives.

Colin.

Thanks Jacko

Not sure if I have put this one on before but it’s Bob Newman (I think after he went in with Colin Harris, hence the dark blue)

Also an earlier pic taken in the yard next to mine in Nursling along side the M27.
