Can anyone tell me whay happened, Did Tanners have 15376 on hire?, or did Dick Tanner drive a season for Bridsons?
Any ideas George/Mark??

The Tanners drove 15376 (and others) as far as i can tell up to the end of the second world war during the summer on tarspraying jobs, i think i have a picture of George Tanner with others next to 68754, the Marshall is hotting tar in the days before oil fireing so it must have been taken before 1932, another chap (Bob) looks very young so it could easly have been taken in the second half of the 1920's. But as usual the picture is very small and a bit dog eared !!.
