if i was to be born again it would be this era working the platforms & travelling in these classic british trucks! nothing beats atki's, erf's and foden's, hard working people & trucks ,love it!
nothing beat those old fair trucks with the livrey on them,seeing them pass through our village every year beetween the motorways you knew summer was here
Fabulous video = and thanks for the time you took to make it. British classics. A million-mile 4th-hand rigid 8-wheeler, a home-built showman's body with a 180 Gardner slung in the back with its Atkinson rad grille visible, an exhaust pipe firing up the side, and a drum of diesel in the back, all blocked up level on bits of wood.
Happy memories lovely old lorrys very sad so many have gone now! My favourites was the ex army matadors and s20/21 Fodens, painted up fantastic and well looked after, I bet when all those gardeners started up it got a bit cloudy in that small space LOL
@@garykendall9426 yes Gary good times lots of good memories need to be young and fit though would kill me now and thats just the girlfreinds i had then. Take care mate look after yourself.
Fodens, ERFs, lots of British trucks you don't see or hear of anymore! I was surprised NOT to see a single Volvo or Mercedes truck! Greetings from Belgium!
Must be a real nightmare for the planners, arranging the parking for all these trucks and associated vans. Biggest problem for the drivers is that some of those older trucks would not have had power steering and to do all that close-quarter manoeveuring with a trailer on the rear end would have been such hard work!
When you look at all this old transport it's hard to think this was the same year that the world's biggest travelling roller coaster debuted at Munich Oktoberfest. UK showman kept these old lorries running for a long time.
so how does this work, with a fair this size, do they have a usual spot or does someone decide who goes where or what? Is there one showman in charge of the whole thing? how does it all work ?
Здравствуйте. Давно увлекаюсь историей британского автопрома, особенно грузовиками. Но ! Вот этот, с забавной "глазастой" физиономией, мне совершенно незнаком 7:30 Вижу, что Foden, но какая модель и какого года ? Может здесь есть знатоки Old School, которые смогут помочь ?

Thanks to Gardner engines!
And a relatively low mileage.
Where are all the Charles Thurston's Diamond T's? They had for or five! Awesome bits of kit they were too!
so how does this work, with a fair this size, do they have a usual spot or does someone decide who goes where or what? Is there one showman in charge of the whole thing? how does it all work ?
Nice old lorry's
Plenty Gardner growling going on
I love em, the old.gardner, 240,
The good old days of being shaman😅
Its important the public keep supporting the showmen or it will be another part of our culture taken away
Love the copper checking the showmen in, do the police still check showmen's licences today?
Thee dont pay road.tax.n use.red diesel,, so iv bin tode, ???
