(4) No: there were two. Again, see 'Mud and Dust' for details.

I know this is dredging up the past, but I was filling pout some missing contractors on the REMLR lists after seeing an article about one of the scammel badged vehicles (although that article had a number of mistakes but I digress).

THe description of the Contractors doesn't appear to match any defined census code that I have found to date, was there one on the vehicles data plate at all??

Hi Richard,

I have the CC listed as 6815.

You'll find it in the AMB books, Vol 6.

I thought I had completely digitised that book here http://www.remlr.com/ARN/census-all.php


Apparently I didn't finish, thanks for that Mike, i'll update my lists.
