Okehampton, I know it pretty well.we once demolished a wall there by accident.The blade of a euclid dozer clipped the wall when we were transporting it from Bude to Exeter.Did that D8 belong to Harvey plant at some time?
Hi Martyn,
Well Nothing changes much here in Okehampton its like the land that time forgot!! My late Father was "Oke" born & bred but he moved to Southampton because of the lure of big bucks before I was born, We used to come down here alot for holidays and now for the love of a woman I am back to my roots!!
I am not sure who the previous owners of the 8 were, I sometimes find it difficult to get as much information as I would like from owners as I think they cannot always understand that some people are just very interested in the old kit, I guess some of them think you may be snooping around for other reasons!! or they think we are the machine equivellent of a train spotter!!
Regards
Nick

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
