My name is Russell Taylor.
I worked for Gilmartin and Gilbraith on tippers twice in the mid 60’s.
Between them and before I started on Tankers I worked for Batty Holt tours. We did European tours, usually 14 days with a courier co driver. Verona, Garda, Como etc.
Then in 1969 I started on Gilbraith Tankers and did 30 years there. Retired at 60.
Me and the late Peter Davison have over 700 photos of Gilbraith group vehicles we either took ourselves or had given. Phil Gilbraith gave me a few of old publicity shots and when Tankers sold out I got some more.
I’m 80 now and still fit and well.
