I was in hospital as a very young kid and given a Matchbox Hoveringham eight wheel Foden, to cheer me up. I never realised it was a real company.

Is it my imagination or did Hoveringham not buy the “Mammoth” name & logo from Mammoth transport Southampton owned and run by John Ward later to become Bulldog tnspt, Buzzer

[windrush]

They ran some as Mammoth Transport locally from Dene quarry at Cromford Buzzer as one of my neighbours drove powder tankers for them. I don’t think that the Hoveringham tippers ran under their banner though?
