They must have about 40 vehicles of various sizes from four wheelers to artics John. Started with a tractor and sludge gulper from their milking farm in the late 1960’s.

These following photo’s have been kindly lent me by John Hybart a retired Bulmers driver of many years, also some from Jack Cook a retired mechanic, who now restores and runs classic lorries.Brilliant old shots Dave ! Didnt Fred Williams at Preston on Wye have an ex Bulmers foden? regards Keith
Possibly Keith, he had several motors of various makes over the years.
Cheers Dave.
Hello, Dave / Keith. This Foden ( ACJ 335 B ) did belonged to Fred Williams of Preston-on-Wye, they bought it off Bulmers and used it mainly for Sugar Beet and other seasonal work, Potatoes, ect.I believe.
Bulmers had ACJ 335 B new in 1964. ( She came with Super Single Tyres on the drive axle, part of a tyre experiment to do with Goodyear Tyres ?, there’s an article in the " Foden News," in I think ■■? June 1964 about the setup. ect. )
I bought it off Peter Williams in September 1988, and have owned it ever since.
I have a photo I took of the Foden in Fred Williams livery before I started my restoration of the vehicle!
With help from John Hybart I was able to obtain the original Stainless Steel tank trailer that ACJ 335 B used to pull during part of its working life.
Best regards Jack.

Jack Cook doing a test with a Foden, which I think he now owns.
Hi Dave. I think this was probably the first annual test that ACJ 335 B had after the restoration. Around 1991/2 ish■■?
I had hair then !!! Unfortunately the " Wash and Go" Shampoo I used at the time had the wrong effect !!!
Best regards Jack.

Not out every day John, and only get the photo’s when Tracy is with me. Did get a few this week,as we were in Leominster Tuesday and up to Gobowen yesterday, always plenty of lorries on the A49 and A5. We will clock you one day.
Cheers Dave.

I thought it was you Jack. That’s a good clear pic. Those Foden’s have more character than any of the modern stuff.
Cheers Dave.
Last one of Bulmers for today, a Leyland Chinese Six.

Didn’t know that Pete. I live not far from Mayglothling’s, but can’t remember this lorry. I remember Edward Mayglothling starting to empty tanks with a tractor and trailer tanker which they used on the family dairy farm. Then they bought a couple of D series Fords, and the business has grown from that with John Mayglothling his Wife and Son running it. Edward runs a separate haulage firm EMAC whose lorries you may have seen, but he has now cut back to two tippers.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Now these were another poor thirty two tonner, great up to a six wheeler and
occasionally as a eight if only working round the doors these and the Scania 80
were both rated as twenty six tonners in their country of origin but as usual it
was a motor that “did” for the UK hauliers “our lads will drive owt” seemed to
be the thinking of Gaffers, of course in that era I’d be driving an Atkinson with
a 220 ■■■■■■■ built in and was equal to anything on the road at that time, my
highlight of any day was creeping up behind a Scania 80 or a Volvo 86 and the
minute we hit a hill go round them like they were stopped, even the Vabis and
the f88’s couldn’t lose me in those days, maybe on the hills a bit but on the level
they had no chance.
thanks harry, long retired.

Quite a few blokes from this area drove F86 Volvo’s for Entress Harry. As you say they hadn’t got the power on the hills. There is no substitute for litres, and those F86 were only 6 litres, whereas most of the Atkinson’s were 11 litres or more.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
We had a firm up this way who’s entire fleet was f86s but how could the producing
country sell them to the UK as 32 tonners when clearly they were not, themselves
only plating them at 6 tons less for their home market. I suppose they were cheap
and plentiful compared to the ERFs, Atki’s, Foden’s, and my all time favourite the
Roller engined Scammell Crusader amongst many others, a bloke told me he could
get three new f86s for the price of two Scania Vabis’s and enough left for a decent
“jolly” and the Vabis was a proper 32 ton plus motor.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hiya,
Nice pup puller but not hooked and piped for a trailer double drive as well but I’ll bet no power steering proper motor.
