Cheers Dave.
Would that be the John Morgan on the South Wales thread Dave?
Dave the Renegade:
This bit of kit was used to pull timber out. Jet tells me it had a Vickers supercharged engine.
Dave the Renegade:
Another machine in action.
That is a Vickers VR180 crawler which had a Rolls-Royce supercharged engine. B & J Davies had it on developement trials, using it with an Onions sulky.

John JET Morgan has got a load of pics,and hopefully when he gets his laptop he will come on here. He’s a real lorry man,will talk about lorries with anyone,which is right up my street. It’s good to get blokes of his generation to have a chat with.I can go back a fair way,from listening to my dad and others of his generation. Jet falls in between those days and mine,he’s 78,I’m 62 so he has a lot more memories than me. Will post some more of his pics later.
Cheers Dave.

Jet Morgan went back to B & J Davies to drive this Foden artic from new,it had a Cat 400 engine,considered quite a beast in 1990.
Hello Dave I hope the welsh transport are doing better than the Irish transport, I read in a newspaper from Ireland on Tuesday that over 200 transport firms have folded this year there, they are having it bad.

Hi Norm,
It’s no better here,with the price of fuel and the haulage rates,a lot of firms are having a hard time. I know a lot of owner drivers who want out,but are trapped with finance etc. Have heard of a couple who are thinking of going into administration to get out.
Cheers Dave.

Hi, nice to see Jets Foden and with the “roo bar” in B & Js case it was needed and not for show, shame some tea leaf took a fancy to it and nicked it one night !!.
