Nearly all the 8x4s running to and from the Sand Pits and Stone Quarries around here were Atki's ERFs Fodens and Leyland Constructors.

Now they're all supersize Cabbed 500hp Swedes.

If you've these, I would imagine you've some super photos of your farming history.

Be lovely to see more of them if you would be prepared to post them on their own thread?

We have photos back to the '40s, and even some cine taken in 1944 now transferred to video. My uncle took the cine, and we are scattering his ashes today. I will have to start a thread, starting with oldest first?
