top pics Robert.I am fond of those 24's and especially that model.tidy D9 too.Do they still run them and howmany do they have?.It's nice to still see scrapers running.you should stick them under the 'scraper' section.
Thanks for the pics

I've done a piece on Kelston Sparkes for next months Earthmovers magazine. They recently got rid of their scrapers due to lack of suitable work and environmental issues.

Those Scrapers were chopped up and sent to China, the D9H was bought 1 sunday morning off Alan Sparks when we called in to look at some 463 towed scrapers, we also had a D8K a grader and some other junk, the D8K I sorted the transmission fault and fettled " fit for duty ", it was sold to a man from the Cardiff direction, the D9H we fettled a bit then pushed up a few JCB's into a heap, it was sold it to Brookhouse engineering, to be turned into a side boom, the grader is snoozing on the farm still so is the other junk.
