Thats about right Buzzer ! Trouble is you get so used to your computer when things change everything seems to be hard work.
But i have spoken to a mate of mine and he managed to go through things on the phone with me, and have sorted most of the gremlins out now.

Hi Dean, I think that AAG Distribution may be from somewhere in Cornwall.
I used to see them very often on the M5 and A30 during my time running to
Redruth between 1995 and 2010. Cheers, Click picture for better image.

Cheers, Ray Smyth.

[windrush]

In that tipper test I’m not sure how they got the Tare weight of the Sed Ak that low when fitted with a ■■■■■■■ engine? Ours with a similar Cravens body but Fuller box and Gardner engines were a lot heavier.

Kev Castle had a few trucks on the Tarmac scheme in Bayston Hill quarry near Shrewsbury and occasionally used to do nights out of our quarry in Derbyshire. I believe his father in law was John Bolas who was in charge of Tarmac’s transport, I think that Kevin has passed away now though?

Hi Ray & Gaz
AA Griggs were the “in house” owned hauliers for David S Smith the big Packaging Group. We used to deliver 23 ton loads of reels from East Lancs Mill to a David S. Plant near Sawston and we got on well with this Plant so they started loading our motors back to the N. West but we had to invoice AA Griggs for the loads. Cheers Dennis.
