I drove a Ford six wheeler tipper very similar to that one for C M Philpotts of Kington.Didn’t hit anything with it. 
Cheers Dave.

That would be a fair day Dan. That’s when men were men and sheep were scared ha ha.
Yes Sam he says it was the same man on the plant at Big Hole at 3am as it was late in the afternoon .
Called in on Rob Hadfield today and he kindly let me take a few photos of his motors.These are just a few including two new 13 plate DAF xf which he is putting on the road next month I have also put some more on the photo thread.I must say I did not realise that he had so many motors and his depot setup is supurb.
