R & J Strang Airdrie (Chapelhall)

Please Help,

My dad passed away a few months back and I’m looking for photos of his old work, R & J Strang. My dad worked there for 28 years. I was alway with him working in the summer holidays when I was a boy in the late 70’s to 80’s. His name is Billy Leckie.
The last lorry he drove there was the Leyland Marthon 2. It was the only one in the yard.
Any pictures would be great.

Many thanks

John Leckie

Hi Jim,

Many thanks.

I actually mind of this lorry with the box. (Showing my age) The ERF lorry which is preserved. Do you know who owns it or a link to any web sites of pictures. I managed to find on google images but its a small picture.

Cheers
John
