Don't know whether this is of much interest, but an old newsreel from the early 70's on the construction of motorways in Spain briefly shows some BH equipment at the 2-minute mark:

Just a note from a worker who was involved after BH Northern Ireland was taken over. I think BH Belfast opened in Mallusk in 1979? The depot was run by BH until around 1990 and then TBF Thompson took it over. I worked there with Norman McBride unitl his departure in 2003.. As I write this, the depot closes today 27th May 2022, didn't quite make it to 50 years! Best Regards to all you Hodgeites...Stevie Maxwell
