I forgot to add to make matters worse he ran in to the back of another tarmac lorry.
TARMAC:
And as BD is suffering from a lack of these, a khaki one ! Ipswich Docks, MWR Norman’s FL10 poses by the new A14 bridge, early 1990’s…this is the site of the current new Tarmac Asphalt Plant, the one that was in use back then, was as you entered the dock area.
Classic mate! Much better c/scheme than the modern day equivalent! 
TARMAC:
Thanx Tony, they were the good old days, and will never be repeated…another one from the past, the first Y4 GCT brand new… …

We were hauling to the M5 from the Gore quarry in 1970.The stretch from Bristol to Tewkesbury was being built.We hauled a lot of chippings to Moreton Valance airfield just below Gloucester to a Tarmac plant supplying the M5.
This is a fantastic pic by our very own Stanny. Taken at Llandudno this weekend.
I’d love to know the background to it.
This pic is taken from a different angle but is the same location as the one from ChopChop a few posts back:
Not sure if this will work but its the right colour to be an old Tarmac wagon.

That’s a great photo.
The Albion Reiver looks familiar but I just can’t place the company…
another from the past, old meets new…1999 Bayston Hill Open Day, FBF457H was originally a Dunning’s Lorry, and when Tarmac bought them was painted into Khaki colours, then worked on a farm for many years, until Roger Titley bought her (pictured), she is now fully restored in the red Dunning’s Livery, and often seen on the show circuit…P580DNT Alan Pritchard’s Volvo was brand new…
Reposted from previously, Cliffe Hill Wrecker originally converted from a red Cliffe Hill Granite Ltd Foden Tipper…outside the garage at Old Cliffe Hill 1988…
And reposted from the graveyard thread, same vehicle some 20 years later, with the Cliffe Hill red livery showing thru again…

That is Steve Fletcher’s latest restoration, he is based at Heathcote, Derbys, and runs a couple of Volvo’s on contract to Tarm*c (still cant bring myself to type the companies name ).

Cheers Dave.
Never worked for Redland/Lafarge Dave so have no problem with 'em. It’s just TA**AC (still cant do it) that I despise!

Three pics of my ugly mush and ‘friends’ during the summer 0f 96. First two at Cawder quarry (now a Sainsburys) and the third at Waterswallows.
This one is from Topley Pike taken in 1980 to highlight the rail loading facility. Note the Reivers in the background - At that stage there was still something like 30 odd based there.
Nice old S80 with long wheelbase.
This one makes it in as there’s an ergo cabbed tipper in the background to the right of the Routeman.
One for the Bayston Boys and BD, and pictured previously in this thread, this is the late John Austin’s truck, in 1988 new outside Bulkrite in Shrewsbury, Shropshire…so new infact, they had not put the number plates on yet…
Berwyn Granite Quarries was a joint venture, that started in 1965 with Johnston / Tarmac, and operated Leaton Quarry, near Telford, Shropshire. Soon after Anglo American bought Tarmac, their 50% share was sold to Ennstone PLC,and the company became Ennstone-Johnston later they bought the remaining 50%, to become Ennstone (in the Midlands) and then went bust, and the remains were recenly bought by Marwyn Materials, to become the now Breedon Aggregates…which operate still the similar Ennstone livery…
The original livery was all black, this livery for their owner drivers scheme (run by Tarmac) came at the same time as the the all white Tarmac livery…
Andy Jackson’s Ennstone-Johnston liveried Volvo…
