"Here are some photos of Sonny Swinton's lorries, taken by a friend of my dad. My dad is the man at the front of of the front lorry in the middle photo below." Ian added: "The lorries were carrying tanks that were coming from Birmingham to British Leyland at Bathgate, now sadly gone. I remember my dad telling me that as the lorries came through the village of Forth in Lanarkshire, he heard a pinging sound. On closer investigation, he found that they had broken the overhead phone lines. I bet the GPO were pleased!" Ian Mycko, Gilmerton, Edinburgh: June 13 +19, 2008 |
