Blamire's tractor unit that hit the Horseshoe Pub Smithy was recovered back to Prospect Garage. This is the only photo I have of it. Linda Massa-would it have been repaired by your dad or just stored until assessed by the insurers? I don't even know if the driver was injured or walked away from it. Even the headlight glass is not broken.

I suspect the headlights in tack because of the side damage and not head-on. I suspect the bulbs blown though!

This isn't the same tractor unit in the previous photo though, I suspect the other tractor unit was a relief vehicle to take away the trailer.
