Good pic ozy, I remember Barry when he was at back of Britannia but I never seen that truck before, I can't think of make of truck he had just recall it being a big green machine.

His dad used to have a butchers shop on Bryn cross.

This vehicle also appears to be equipped with a Kysor radiator shutter .

It would be unfair to expect Joe Public to recognise or even understand what that means .

Colin Harlow would undoubtably know though .

Btw John … you’re right … his dad’s name was Ernie .

Thanks Ozy.
Kysor coolant radiator shutter is used for cold weather engine warming and quickly reaches temperature, it can be left open during the Summer months.
