Jimmy Munro and low loader in Skye
Photograph is courtesy of Margaret Murray, daughter of Jimmy Munro who is seen with his machine. There is no information with this photograph and year is a guess based on Registration Number which may be prefixed with the letter ‘A’. The FC Number of the lorry reads as 59072 and will confirm the year it was purchased and also the lorry make.
This may have been one of Jimmy’s last jobs before he retired in 1986 following a long service in the Forestry Commission where he transferred to from working in the wartime Timber Supply Dept.
