Biglorryblog's 'Man North 'o' the Border' John Henderson has rattled off this prompt reply to my request for shots of old Gibb's trucks and says: Hi Brian, great pictures of Gibbs 'Flower of Scotland' from Gyles, which I suspect may have been taken on the 2009 Highland Historic Vehicle Run back in May? The C series tractor was restored by its new owner, James Gray of Gray & Adams and currently there's a period fridge van being refettled for it to pull. The whole outfit should be present at Truckfest Scotland, where all being well, I 'll report on it for Truck & Driver."

John adds; "James Gray found the ERF in Reive & Grossart's Abington yard, where there are still plenty of old motors awaiting a bit of TLC (see top photo.) I've also included a pic of A753 ESO when it worked full time for a living. Best regards, John. Great stuff JH and I love the 'elephants' graveyard!
