No problem mate if you look at the above post the green wood shredder with the old 113 on the front was the one we had for 5 years both long gone now matey. and yes thats the one and only D wilson he use to run a white foden alpha and tipper.
Hello Paul A
Thankyou for that infomation on D Wilson. I can remember the 2004 Foden he ran but didn’t he run a ex Thompsons Scania R before he packed in?
Kindest regards

Hello paul A
I thought so. I remember seening it knocking about on the roads.
The Cragg & Cutruss 113 you mentioned earlier, the reg wasn’t by any chance: RRM 281X was it?

Cracking pics Wm Armstrong motors ■■■■■■■■ Gill. They always look impressive whatever type of trailer they are pulling.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
CG Don’t take life and the mickey taking too much to heart or too seriously
I remember some time ago a now dead thread something about “one of the”
smartest fleets around" can’t remember the exact title, but I made a tongue
in cheek comment about the motors wouldn’t have looked quite so good if I
was driving them and me always being shy of the wash as most people know
that’s true, well a guy calling himself “ovlov” and one or two more of his pals
gave me a lot of stick accused me of saying things about the boss, totally was
untrue the vehicle maintainence never mentioned, I didn’t even know of the
firm let alone the boss so obviously I wouldn’t say anything about his outfit, I
got a lot of urine extracted at that time, so what did I do?? sat by my lap-top
and ■■■■■■ myself laughing, and CG good buddy is the only way to travel.
thanks harry, long retired.
I second what Harry has said and here are a couple of older Armstongs. They were in a box of rejects in the loft and there is a good reason why they went up there but they might fit in here.

hiya,
All clear Dennis the bairns in bed or should be.
thanks harry, long retired.
Hiya “H”,you should have joined in last night,after all I think by the tone of the posts you are one of my “cronies”,along with a few of the other lads!! What I would like to know is how did the Radnor Stasi find out that you ran all your posts on the ■■■■■■■■ threads past me first prior to me instructing you all to submit them?. I really must tighten up security when I am dealing with my “cronies”,any idea who it was that “grassed” “H”? I’ve broad shoulders though “H”,I’ve had to have !! Cheers Dennis.
Have I missed summet here? a bit of drama? or have some posts been removed since I was on here last?

Bloody hell am I getting conceited or what I’ m actually quoting myself now
Just caught up on the said" drama" on the ■■■■ tipper thread so I get the jist of it now, so just to add my contribution (although it’s got sod all to do with me ) I don’t agree for one minute that Denis was bullying the lad I know it was just a bit of a wind up and banter, (as I have done myself in the past) and I have no reason or desire to cross swords with Denis, but the lad seems to have a good knowledge and interest in transport, admittedly a bit naive sometimes( especially his fascination with Stobarts which more than likely is the underlying reason for all the stick) but he is only 18, and it’s a bit of a rarity for the public today ,let alone an 18yr old, to view the haulage ind in high esteem, so maybe we should give him a bit of leeway, (except for the Stobart thing of course, that goes without saying )
welll bugger it was a bit of a laugh, but it seems like its pick on bewick now, its just honest friendly west ■■■■■■■■ banter, it goes on all the time, and we laugh at it, one of our wagons reversed into a burger van and when he set off he took it with him, that was two weeks ago and he,s still getting fast food jokes, it doesnt help that he weighs 30 stone ,we,ll dine on that till the next whoops
