With a rare Haulmaster tractor in the background… and how close is that DS Citroen!

Thank you for correcting me. It is correct in the book though.
This Foden belonged to an old pal of mine Brian Patterson & Sons Aberagie Perth, His sons Roddy & Willie still run wagons & some big mobile cranes.
Not to many Foden four wheelers around with the Alpha cab.A nice tipper seen on the A5 near Oswestry.
Ideal for the narrow lanes and roads of west Cornwall. As photographed in Roy Broad’s yard, Manaccan on the Lizard.
AAnother pic of the Foden in Bardon colours.
One of the last of many Foden’s that KTH ran,seen on the A44 Kington bypass.

Hi Neil. Smiths used to move brewers grains out of Hook Norton brewery years ago so maybe someone bought it after seeing it work? It had a long life as Dad started there in '78 and he’s sure it was still there then.
Neil, are you aware of a farmer out Brailes way that’s bought several old Smiths lorries over the years? I delivered an R reg 3000 series 6wheeler which along with the other R reg and a P reg was said to have replaced several Bedfords…
