Hi Dave, Not too sure about the transfer of men from CC to SC although I do know a lot of men went with them.

Thx a lot Paul, i wonder if the plant manager Rob Brown and Colin Cornes right hand man Russ Bakewell moved to SC ?

Hi Dave,

I recognise Rob Browns name but not Russ Bakewell's. Andrew Foster is MD of Scottish Coal, another ex CC man.

Russ was in charge of the workshop at Telford, also a boxer like his boss.

Yeh i saw that they had moved earlier, They've moved to Ilkeston now mate....just off JCT 25 of the M1. I had been told that the RH90 i saw in the yard had been working in a place called Tibshelf about 10 minutes away from me but not sure how true that is!

Joe, that will be more than likely mate, there were two O&K RH90's owned by banks, that worked at the Doe Hill Site in Tibshelf, Derbyshire, a shovel and an excavator.
