Smithy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Just been reading an interesting article in this month's Heritage Commercials magazine about a recovery firm in Wales that run a number of ex-military vehicles. An interesting read and you can see some of them on the firm's website here: http://hesletonrecovery.co.uk/default.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffyHerrbert Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 impressive collection of machinery there - the blue Foden is particularly awesome and certainly appears to earn its keep nice to see the Explorer out in the last recovery photo of gallery 3 and at work in the 'latest recovery' section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utt61 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The blue Foden is (as far as I know) the one that used to be based at Frodsham Motors of Morcombelake in Dorset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
