Thanks Hedd, I remember Milwards bringing her to Church Stretton they were having pump trouble with it, they didn't keep it for long.
I also remember Cyril Bishop showing us the old drivers name that had been carved into the back of the cab,when it was parked up at the side of the road just over the stream at Bishaps, perhaps she had been left there after the rally. I know Mike Salmon was very fed up at the time the way Parky had chopped and shortened the chassis.
Do you know if the ex John Alderson's Foden still has the winch drum on the back axle, at least Parky left this on 13222 when he carried out the conversion.
He was very good with a paint brush!
