NMP, But IIRC Jonnie Roddam drove it, The last time I had a drink with him was in Labour Club drivers reunion before the Covid started, He still keeps in touch with my pal Jimmy Blackburn who worked alongside him at Martin Cooks, Larry.

Larry, side loading has always been a bit dodgy, is it still allowed?

Load Restraint Guidelines cover it here.
I had four short chains, that I would hook on each corner on the inside of the tracks, then dog the front ones back and the back ones forward. Never had a problem, but now the track frame has to be chained instead.

This was obviously some kind of publicity shot because I’m sure the landing legs are down on that trailer so when the Foden was dragged out from under the Scania would be coupled up and take the trailer away ! The term “Skin off a rice pudding” comes to mind when looking at that shot ! Cheers Denzil

No way, The Foden could cope with anything Dennis, , I know you never rated the good old Fodens as being any good, But lots of companys ran them like good old self and made a few bob doing so, Take care and stay safe my friend, Larry.
