Yes he was a good bloke to work for according to my mate Malcolm Trotter who worked for him before coming to Redpaths in 83, his father was called George Trotter who was at Mortonâs going back to 50s and 6os I think,I only ever remember him being at Mortonâs when I was at school so you might have knew him. Colin.
Few of us ex Redpaths drivers taken at Wooler yard after 2018 road run with Les Baston and his ERF.
Tidy little Albion from F&F Moffatt; all the local companies in Wooler area seemed to run Albionâs in sixties and seventies.

I applied for a job with F&F Moffatt during the long hot summer of 1976 : still waiting for a reply ha ha . Colin.
I ran an ERF 66GX similar to the one restored by Les Baston, best wagon I ever had.
Cheers, Leyland 600
