Yes Dean, you are being “good to me” for once!Actually that Foden is from our quarry (Ballidon) but I dont know the location? Driven from new by the late Dennis Wibberley who later worked in the weighbridge as the clerk until his retirement. It is his youngest brother Vernon’s funeral this friday. Vernon drove a tanker and Dennis the tipper, both were on fortnightly service the same day. After the servicing side in the lubrication bay any repairs were done by our garage. Dennis came in: “I have three broken springs” so we set too changing them. Half an hour later Vernon appears with his tanker; “I’ve four broken springs” and as tankers were more important than tippers (there was usually a spare tipper) we had to leave Dennis’s and concentrate on Vernons which didn’t go down well!
Here is Dennis on his last day before retirement, with my old ‘running partner’ on Tilcon/STB Transport Ray Gould from Brassington at the window! NMP

I wonder if you can help here Dean , i’ve just been reading an article in Heritage Comms magazine by Nick Baldwin and he mentions a feature he did on a guy who had a 50s AEC Mercury delivering meat to butchers. The feature was in Truck magazine many years ago and i remember reading it at the time, do you have it?
