Hi Graham, I have it on good authority the 68A now fixed and the job is progressing well. You'll have a job to find a better scraper driver these days than Steve Burgess! The 68A is his, that K belongs to Martin Atkins.

Jammy Haynes.the goose. Derek slim Brooks.sprout picker. Wes Cooper.>sackem.Johnny Lyklyk.Johnny took a chance on me in1968.he threw me into the saddle told me which levers to pull and of I went on forty years of s--tkicking.And happy years too I met great friends some Im still in touch with.some have gone to that great spoil heap in the sky. like Chyanne. Pat Wiesner. I have a few photos I will post as soon as I have learnt how. I have only had my computer two weeks. Ill be back. Poncho.
