This operation involves a FC lorry loading a contractor’s timber lorry with what could be 3m timber lengths indicating a possible load for the Pulp mill at Corpach, FortWilliam.

The lorry registrations are for the FC NHV597E indicating registration in 1967 and the timber lorry as BXB635C registered in 1965. The Speymouth Forest annual report for 1965 listed on their machine inventory a 7 ton lorry with 2 ton Hiab loader and a 5 ton lorry with 1 ton Hiab loader.

Does anyone know the location and operators?
