Les Davison is retired now, but I dont think he is very clever at the moment, anyway how are you enjoying retirement,? Im still doing a little bit now & again, but Im not interested in this new crappy CPC, caper, so I wont be renewing my class One next year.

Larry, Keith worked at Waughs in the 70s, I dont know if you remember? he had a very bad accident on the M62 around the Milnrow
junction,the cab on the Atki was flattened, he finished up in the well on the passenger.It was a miracle he survived. Ps. If you see him

To Larry Dunbar.
On P119 a young XLV8 Brian was on about the two coachbuilt Atki 8 wheelers at Smiles and you stated that one of them YTY 520 was driven by Bobby Meggs well he lives in the tower block a few levels below me still getting around at nearly 90 years of age and sends his regards.

Kieth had GTY 160L at the time the only bits of the cab left was the bits below the steering column which they thought saved him from an even worse out come, mind when it came back from repair it had a paint finish like glass.

Well thats great to here Meggsie is still about, great lad Bobby Smilers topman, The last time I saw him was at St Neots, he was working for Ronnie Henderson, I had a few loads of blocks from Booth Concrete, more than I could manage with our own wagons so I got Henderson in to help me out, but that was in the 80s, if you see him give him my regards. Cheers Larry.PS Tell him I have a picture of YTY.520. Taken on Kates Cabin Lorry Park.
