Brilliant that is John, I made contact with a request of his approval for use of his pictures, a quick reply from him(Truckpics405) with his blessing and delighted that his handiwork will get an airing on here, it is a fantastic collection considering it is/was pre digital and all the developing done by himself, also all the detail of type, ownership and registration.
Cheers

By way of introduction this is the man himself on an agency job, collecting this outfit from Eastleigh with delivery to Susuki Research at Brooklands, most of his pictures pre-date this by quite a few years.

Now theres a tidy Foden S21 fitted Air-Con as well the second artic I drove was an S21with a 150 Gardner the fiberglass cab had no interior lining and on a frosty morning the frost on the inside of the roof used to start to melt after a few miles and you kept getting drips of water untill it had dried out Happy Days.Eddie.
Aye Eddie you must have had a better heater than my S21 the ice would not melt in my cab, but you certainly got a suntan in the summer when the sun shone. !!!

A blast from the past and another Foden, thanks to John Wakely, Steetley Bricks, a 1971 reg and taken in 1980 near Lombard North Central roundabout South London.
