Welsh Border and Mid Wales Hauliers 1950's onwards

Dave the Renegade:

This Foden Alpha has murals of Fred Dibnah on the cab,seen on the A40 near Llandovery,Carmarthenshire.

Spotted on Monday, he waited for me to come out of the wood.
He had a harvester on and bought up a forwarder later on in the day.
