SOUTHPORT SAND & GRAVEL…… "LIKE EMM, WE NEED TRUCKS EMM, THAT WONT EMM, KEEP BRAKING DOWN IN THE SEA, LIKE EMM" ….SO SAID MR BILLY RAINFORD, MD OF WM.RAINFORDS, LIVERPOOL, OWNER OF SS&G, AND A DAMN GOOD CUSTOMER TO HML. DEMO FROM AN R-35B WENT WELL, BUT THEY EVENTUALLY BOUGHT 33-07`S, AND THEN HIRED 33-09`S, WHICH WERE THERE UNTIL 1991. NOT A NICE PLACE TO BE, BEING LOADED 2 MILES OUT ON THE BEACH….AT NIGHT…. IN WINTER !!! MIND YOU, BLOODY NICE IN SUMMER IN THE AFTERNOONS !!
ARC TYTHERINGTON……JV DEMO BY JBH & HML…..ARC WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY COULD RUN AN R-50 THROUGH THEIR TUNNEL FROM FACE TO CRUSHER…..WE THINK THEY BROUGHT THE 72-81 UP FROM WHATLEY TO LOAD IT, BUT NOT CONFIRMED. R-50 FROM BHH FLEET.
ANOTHER 72-81 – FINE MACHINE, CRAP ENGINE (FOR THAT MACHINE). WITH A 16V-71N FITTED, IT WOULD HAVE LOADED FOR EVER. NOTES FROM HML ARCHIVES SHOW THIS IS A SUNDAY DEMO, ORGANISED BY HML`S R.J. (BOB) COLE NEAR TO STRATFORD, FOR ARBURY SHALE, NUNEATON & OLDBURY, SO PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH GEORGE MITCHELL………. RECORD SHOWS THEY BOUGHT A 72-51A !!
