2 Gardner 180 s under that cab not hard to see how we lost it
Hi all. Andrew and Dai, Maldwyn Davies used to do lots of smokeless fuels to the London area. Mostly coal yards, from the furnace site plant in Mountain Ash/Aberdare.
As well as that Foden he had an Atki Borderer 8 wheeler M reg with a Gardner 180. Last I saw of it was at Ryans in Cardiff painted black on blending duties.
Great photos as usual.
Regards Paul.
Me parking up on Saturday morning all our merc trucks
