I will give Dai Walters a call on Friday to see if we can get access to his yard on the ACMOC visit.The name of the driver was Graham Hillman.You may have seen his youtube films.

Dai turned up at a Finning openday a few years back,landed the helicopter on the roundabout at Llantrisant.
In 2003 they lent us a big Volvo excavator to put on display at our rally

Hi Wyn,
What are Tarmac using up there now? I know Stokey used to be in and out with one of their 365s
