My first trip abroad was with a second hand and fairly well battered and bruised 1971 Scanny 110, I was sent from our yard which was, and still is to this day up in Lightcliffe (Halifax) West Yorkshire. The year was 1977, the company was called D+M trailers, owned and operated by two partners, Maurice Ducket and Phil McGuire, we were subbying for Bannon and Wards out of Dewsbury, mostly textiles at the time, this industry (textiles) was still quite strong back then.
