Yes, I remember Tyzaks- I don’t know what other, if any, fleet they had, but two 8 wheeler Atkinson tippers used to pass through Throckley regularly-one with the fibreglass cab, which I think was JBR 926 and one , with the earlier ‘square’ cab. Colours were grey with red wheels (and, I think red wings)
Regards, Eric.

They had quite a few 4 wheelers delivering finished products to sites. The D series were long wheel base, 24-26 ft I believe, they all had the splash of red.

I posted this photo a bit ago, Geo Blackett Ltd from Forest Hall, I hoped that there would have been more responce to this but alas nothing was forthcoming I sure there must be a lot of the Gordie Blacketts drivers still breathing, So I hope someone has some replies forthcoming, Regards Larry.

Would agree animal we have half a dozen of them but the cab sits a lot higher so not as good for the transporter …

I remember Blackett’s around late 60’s-early 70’s when their fleet was mainly ‘J’ type (bonneted) Bedfords-before he went on to Dodges. It was said at the time that George would give each driver a pint of milk-to go with their bait-every day. Whether this was true or not,I don’t know! Maybe if any of his ex.drivers do reply, they can tell us more. I believe George actually lived in a bungalow, named ‘Stornoway’ (I think that was the name), next to the yard on Great Lime Road.
Regards, Eric.
