Monday morning first day on for Edgar. Standing at garage doors watching S39s/S80s going out the yard, Edgar strolls up to you " That’s yours, go steady with her she’s getting on a bit "

hi all,
during the 1970’s,i remember that very FODEN featured in TRUCK magazine.It was old then,years later i saw it at several events.Must be a contender for one of the oldest working 8 wheeler tippers in the uk?
regards andrew.

and it looks like Arabic writing on the bumper.great pic of Neil Hobson F88 he was based near me,according to David Baker he bought it second hand of an owner Driver ( Scunthorpe reg) who may have done Middle East but I’ll ask Sodbuster aka Johnnie B aka Gypsey John who would know

BRS Atkinson wrecker.

One of the 12 Gardner-engined Atkinson Venturers supplied new to Pickfords in 1971, JLD701-12K. Several went onto the fairgrounds and 707 has been immaculately restored into PIckfords livery. I don’t know for certain which one this is in Mark’s photo, but I’ve a feeling that 710, new to Westfield Transport and now under restoration, spent time as a BRS wrecker.

And here’s a link to 710, with text saying about it being a BRS wrecker:

This is 707K back in 2012 when owned by Roberts at Whitchurch (Ross Roadways), It has since been sold…

From a post on here somewhere. She worked up to 92 unbelievable. What would her vital statistics have been?

It started life as a Foden tanker in the 1940’s and had the wheelbase shortened by Edgar Waine when he converted it to a tipper in the 1950’s.
It undertook several modifications over the years and he operated it until about 1992 by which time he was 70 years old.
After retiring he took it to many shows and enjoyed the interest shown by many enthusiasts.
It was later sold to SE Davis on the understanding that it would be restored which, alas, it has not been.

Thanks for the info and pic Paul !

What a photo, if you didn’t know better you’d go for a 50s scene.
In 75 I was driving a Mickey Mouse same as above but with coal body. Bay 679(?) ,she were 15yr old then n I thought she was getting on, a youngster compared to Edgars. Would she have been one of the longest working lorries? How many engines? How many miles?

Unbelievable life span for a working truck. 40’s till the 90’s !

I remember this F86 when it came to GCG, red in colour and the last time I saw it, it was on its side on the road between Clydach and Pontardawe after its load had slipped. Brian Griffin was its driver at the time.
