Re: Classic Concrete Mixers
Pete, I think it's more like Dudlai well in black country terms anyway 
there is a distinct difference between the black country accent and the Brummie accent although most people would not notice, I personally hate these accents, possibly the worst in the country makes you hate the sound of your own voice when its been recorded.

Re: Classic Truck Concrete Mixers
Two Albion Reiver mixers from a Rapier Hydraulic mixer brochure I have, reliably informed that the Hobbs one is a RE229 which had an AEC engine.
The RMC orange one is a Leyland Super Comet apparently.

Re: Classic Truck Concrete Mixers
That pic looks familiar, is it the Observers book?
Farr went bust in the 90s and at the time we were on a site where they were
also working.
We used their plant for months before the receivers caught up with it!
In fact we could have spirited it all away very easily.

Re: Classic Truck Concrete Mixers
Yes, definitely from the Observers book published in 1971, when you could buy a hardback book for the princely sum of 45p.
Those were the days!

Not my photo but I love these old mixer photos! Is this the firm you were on about Jeremy, I know one was preserved by John Murphy and I believe is in RMC colours
