Another shot of a Forrester’s motor, bit later than the Scania’s
Roger Bettley was co owner of Bulk Haul until he sold out and returned to the Sandbach area and started the brick haulage company and from there he went back into tanker work until he sold out to Rosier Tankers in 1998.
A couple of Roger Bettleys Fodens
This one when he went into brick haulage.
Plus one he ran on Fodens work.

That is Sandbach John pic taken from the south gate area main office to the left WTS office to the right. That’s the old HCL storage tanks before replaced by the “new” white tanks. Loaded there many a time HCL to right of shot Hypo to the left. Summerfield Tankers bought out by Gary Hagan became Hagan Ltd later bought out by Samat
